The problem is externalities. Companies have to be held responsible for their damage.
If governments held companies liable for the full cost of fixing their damage to humanity and earth I honestly don't know how many would be left.
I'm sorry but you missed the memo that polluting is free
It's cheaper than taking measures against it, but it for sure ain't free
