Abstract: This paper’s question is: how to consolidate economic growth with effective environmental measures that preserve at least the minimum necessary for the continuity of species and biomes? Because on the one hand, countries’ economies must grow to improve the quality of life of its citizens; on the other hand, protecting the environment is essential to the health of human beings and this guarantee is written in Brazil’s Federal Constitution. In general terms, firstly, this article conceptualizes the forms and consequences of environmental pollution, namely: air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, fauna, and flora pollution, with the aim of demonstrating the disastrous consequences of pollution’s effects on living beings. Secondarily, this study examines article 170 of the Brazilian Federal Constitution, which establishes Brazil’s economic order and consolidates the right to environmental protection, a constitutional guarantee that is also found in article 225 of the Brazilian Federal Constitution. Therefore, it is grounded and explained both in the field of environmental and economic law, a fact that demonstrates that they should go hand in hand. Lastly, this paper presents an economic mechanism - "green taxation" - which aims to incentivize environmentally assertive practices with tax incentives. At present, there is an urgent need for public policies that help citizens become aware of environmental pollution’s effects on their lives and on that of future generations, as well as creating tax incentives for taxpayers and companies that strive for the conservation of natural resources, thus ensuring the effectiveness of a social, environmental, and democratic State governed by law.
