Energy Tax Act

The Energy Tax Act is like a rule book for grown-ups who use energy like electricity and gas. It was made by people who want to help the environment by encouraging people to use less energy.

So, the Energy Tax Act is a way to make sure that people who use more energy than they need to, pay a little extra money as a way to encourage them to use less. It's kind of like how your parents might give you a little bit of money for every A on your report card, to encourage you to try your best in school.

The money from the Energy Tax Act goes towards things that help the environment, like wind turbines and solar panels, which use renewable energy sources that we can use forever, without running out.

So, by following the Energy Tax Act, grown-ups are helping to take care of our planet and making sure we have a bright future with clean air and water for everyone.
