## Resource

A new poll reveals that 55% of Americans want harsher penalties for companies harming the environment, with 60% saying current fines aren’t enough. A third support $1 million minimum fines per violation, and 25% even back jail time for environmental crimes. Seventy percent believe the government must do more to protect the planet, and half are willing to pay higher taxes if funds directly fund environmental protection — showing strong public demand for accountability and action.
