[pp.int.general] Towards a Pirate Policy on Environmental Issues

[Richard Stallman]

    You can not force companies to pay huge taxes for
    misbehaviour... taxes are paid on BENEFITS... and they know how to
    move these offshore ;) .

Taxes do not HAVE to be calculated based on a company's profit.  That
is not the only way.  For instance, the punitive taxes could be
calculated on the total value of the business activity which damages
the environment.
