5. actually haven't quite left yet- madhound
I think this proposal is right up your alley
corporate farms use toxics to make their money
smaller organic farmers would have an advantage not a disadvantage

heck yeah this would apply to cities, suburbs, lawncare, etc.

yes this would have to be a heavy tax
The poisoners, and the land owners who destroys their land the most, would pay the heaviest.

Not just punishing the offenders, this would have the effect of lightening the burdens of the people doing the best and healthiest practices.

There would have to be a long transition period, but tax breaks for huge SUVs has got to go.
