At What Cost? We all pay on the back end

The Green movement is raising awareness to the fact that the planet is in trouble. We are seeing great transformations with our technologies. Why are we paying so much in taxes and insurance to make our lives function on a day to day basis? We pay individually for the cost of our consumption up to the point of sale but we all pay for the cost of disposal on the back end in the form of taxes and poor quality of life (health). We need to add the cost of the clean-up into the front end.
