Environmentalists;could this be possible?

It is my view that in the best interest of each and every one and much more for the sake of the country that, the environmental body NEMA charges some fee on vehicle in the country. It could be an annual fee or a charge worthy at the purchase of the vehicle.

This should be a fee different from the one charged on vehicles transporting natural resources with adverse effects on the environment. These include transporters of sand, timber, concrete and for sure, cement ought to be in this category, it has some contribution on air pollution..

The fee should be established as compensation to the air pollution, noise pollution, soil pollution and as a direct destruction to the ecosystem. It should also be set on the time wasted due to the high traffic on the roads vis a vis the amount of time that would have been harnessed to enhance a clean environment. All in all everyone has a part to play in bettering our earth.

An environmental fund is to be set up using the fee charged. This could be invested  through various ways to boost the environment. Just to mention, but a few, tree planting to increase on oxygen discharge, construction of gabions, cleaning of rivers, and creation of environmental awareness through organized trainings.
