I am going to be writing a paper on how companies can make a transition to becoming sustainable (healthier to the environment). My argument which I want to make is how the government can play a role in creating incentives for companies to transition and penalties for those who do not participate in being sustainable. Please help me with your thoughts on how you think government can effectively help our businesses to transition into becoming sustainable, and ultimately waste free, carbon free, and overall better for our environment.
