A drawback to implementing environmental taxes and fees is that it penalizes low-income groups unless safety nets are provided. If companies and individuals are expected to pay environmental taxes and fees due to their products causing issues or if they add them to everyone, it can hurt those in the low-income bracket. Those who already have a hard time paying bills are extremely price sensitive and likely can't afford added taxes and fees to products or services.
