Great changes require a powerful hand to guide them and push them forward.
Governments have the power and influence of the law to support them. Moreover, they have access to means with which to enforce the law and punish offenders. Individuals
and corporations that pollute our air and waters will not stop doing so as long as they can profit from this action and do not fear consequences. A steel producer, for instance , will not cease dumping waste in nearby river if it does not affect its bottom line. Taxing this company, on the other hand, might make it change its way of doing business. Yet, it is this very question of costs that limits anyone but the government to act against
pollution.
