Why is preventing pollution at its source the first strategy in minimizing environmental risk? a It is easier and more effective to prevent pollution than to clean up and dispose of waste. b. Remediation of contamination is easier than pollution prevention. c. Habitat restoration cannot be undertaken with modern technologies. d. Safe waste disposal is the easiest was to minimize environmental risk.

b is the best answer for this question.

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."

explanation:

the sun shines white and black light to our planet. the white light has all the colors in it. in our upper atmosphere, we have dust particles and oxygen molecules. the white light meaning all of the colors in a rainbow shines through the upper levels of the atmopshere and the blue light scatters across the entire planet. that is why our sky is blue.
