Product tax question

Hi there, I need an info on a product tax. I heard that less tax rate is imposed on those products which cannot do any harm to the environment and those which can be recycled. What is this tax? How high it is? I’m really supporting this move of the government and I think that it will contribute to the saving of our surrounding.

I heard that too, and I really hope that it’s true, because I heard the information that the waste we’re making can’t be degraded for the next million years. With this measure they make the producer to use biodegradable materials and thus they’re lessening the pollution. I can’t tell you what this tax rate is, it’s probably half less the normal. In my opinion, government should not only impose less tax but they should punish those who produce non rechargeable batteries, cameras for single use and similar products which can really harm the environment. But also we, the citizens, have to fight for the future of our children and we shouldn’t buy these products.
