Penalties for environmental pollution should be harsh to discourage it and protect the environment. Financial penalties or fines can range from a few hundred to millions of dollars, while other forms of punishment such as jail time can also be used. Educational penalties may also be imposed, such as requiring polluters to engage in community service or complete an environmental studies program. Additionally, companies found guilty of serious environmental violations could have their operating licenses suspended or revoked.

Penalties for environmental pollution should be designed to help reduce and correct any wrongdoings, as well as create meaningful economic deterrents for individuals and companies engaging in damaging activities. These penalties should seek to cover the costs of any damage done and include long-term consequences such as increased monitoring and a decrease in access to resource or markets.
