TEXT 1
ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
Ecology and environmental protection can be a
vital issue in modern business. Ecology—the
relationship between people and their environment
—is an important managerial consideration from a
legal as well as societal viewpoint.
Nearly everyone accepts the premise that we
should maintain an ecologically sound
environment, but achieving this goal requires trade-
offs that we are not always willing to
make. For example, although we fear the oil-spill
danger of supertankers, we insist upon
readily available supplies of gasoline at reasonable
prices Coal-burning boilers were once
converted to oil-using furnaces in order to cut air
pollution, but since coal is relatively
plentiful in the United States. Some plants have
reverted to using it.
Ecological goals are important; however, the
real issue is whether we can coordinate
These goals with other societal and economic
objectives On this, no clear concensus has
emerged.
66. “…trade-offs” (line 5) means
nearly the same as___________.
a. new products for sale b. funds for investment
c. hugh trade deficit d. things given in exchange
