| EU Wants Truckers To Pay For Pollution, Sleep Loss |

The European Union is considering a proposal that would allow its member states to tax truckers for "the costs they incur on society," a list that includes congestion and health problems relating to air and noise pollution and yes, sleep disturbance. The early draft of the European Commission plan, uncovered by EurActiv, would take into account other so-called welfare costs caused by commercial trucking, including increased fuel consumption and vehicle maintenance expenses caused by greater congestion on the roads. About the only thing not included in the plan are costs related to traffic accidents. We're guessing that omission has something to do with the insurance companies. Even crop losses and damages to the ecosystem caused by truck pollution could be included in the new tax equation, which would be assessed in the form of an electronic toll system for larger vehicles. The proposal under consideration would would revise the 15-year-old Eurovignette Directive, which first allowed EU countries to enact tolls for the use of road infrastructure by heavy freight vehicles. Unlike previous versions of the Directive, this proposed plan would cover all European roads. This is where we're supposed to insert a joke about Europeans and their love of taxes. But what we love about this proposal is that officials are actually examining the secondary costs caused by trucks (or as the EU calls them, heavy goods vehicles). This is an encouraging sign, though probably not one we're likely to see in the U.S. anytime soon. Comments (51)

If I speak in the Cheap Authentic NFL Jerseys tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all Official NFL Jerseys knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my USA Jerseys Shop body to the flames,but have not love, I gain nothing.Love is patient, NFL Jerseys love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it NHL Jerseys keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always MLB Jerseys hopes, always perseveres.Love never NHL Hockey Jerseys fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in MLB Baseball Jerseys part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappea. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became NBA Basketball Jerseys man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.And now these three remain: faith, hope and NFL Football Jerseys love. But the greatest of these is love. http://www.jersey-usa.com/sitemap.html LIJ

Yeah, OK, we can be the change that we want to see in the world. But unless powerful people in powerful positions want to be that change as well, nothing's going to change.
So now, finally, there's a place where you can go for news and analysis of politics from an environmental perspective.
