Yes, and use the funds to clean up local waterways

This answer aligns very closely with the Green Party's policy direction. They have consistently advocated for policies that both discourage wasteful use of natural resources and fund environmental restoration projects. For example, in 2017, they proposed a policy to charge commercial water users and use the revenue to clean up rivers.
