3.1 航空税是否有利于环保

　　Doctor Diaz: This week, we'll be discussing ways to address air pollution. One idea is introducing environmental taxes on air travel. Such taxes, also referred to as ecological taxes or green taxes, are extra charges that get added to the price of airplane tickets. Money collected from these taxes could be invested in environmentally friendly technologies or in promoting other, cleaner modes of transportation. Do you think there should be an environmental tax on air travel? Why or why not?

　　Andrew: We should impose environmental taxes on air travel. These taxes might encourage people to find cheaper, more eco-friendly ways to get places. In my country, many people use planes to fly a short distance because flights are relatively cheap when they could just as easily take a less polluting form of transportation.

　　Claire: Additional taxes on air travel will do little to solve the problem of air pollution. Airplane tickets would become more expensive, punishing passengers without incentivizing airlines to become more environmentally friendly. The airlines should pay the price to protect the environment, not their customers.

　　参考观点：

　　支持对航空旅行征收环境税：

　　理由 1：资金用于环保项目：征收的税款可用于研发清洁能源、改善公共交通系统等环保项目，长远来看，有助于构建更加可持续的交通体系。

　　理由 2：提升公众环保意识：环境税作为一种经济手段，能够引起公众对航空旅行环境影响的关注，促进全社会形成节能减排的共识。

　　反对航空旅行征收环境税：

　　理由 1：航空公司难以转嫁成本：提高票价未必能促使航空公司采取更多环保措施，反而可能导致客源流失，影响行业健康发展。

　　理由 2：需要综合施策：单纯依靠环境税政策难以从根本上解决航空污染问题，应同时加强航空公司的环保监管，推广使用清洁能源飞机等技术手段。

　　高频表达：

　　sustainable transport system – 可持续的交通体系

　　a consensus on energy conservation and emission reduction – 节能减排的共识

　　pass the costs on to consumers - 将成本转嫁给消费者

　　take comprehensive measures - 综合施策
