A smarter way than manually picking "worthy" and "unworthy" emissions to tax is to tax them all, including basic needs, and distribute the proceeds from that (or a fraction of them) to everyone equally.
Those who consume less will receive back more than they spent on the basic necessities, and you don't get into envy- and activism-based debates where everyone tries to hurt their favorite sinners.
