Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 104TDI
Can industries be trusted to self-regulate the amount of pollution they produce? Is government really necessary to enforce these regulations? Shouldn’t the mind of the consumer and the economic advantages of sustainable practices be sufficient to motivate industries to protect the environment?
