Which of the following best describes the goal of cap and trade?
a.
to decrease the heavy metal pollution of the soil
b.
to decrease the release of pollutants into the ocean
c.
to limit the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere
d.
all of the above

I think the answer is D.

The correct answer is C. To limit the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Emissions trading system, commonly known as cap and trade is a system designed to reduced the amount of emission in the atmosphere by setting limits of the amount of pollutants industries and companies can release, giving incentives to the ones that reduce significantly their emissions and forcing companies that want to emit more pollutants to buy permits. This system covers all types of air pollutants and it is regulated by the government and other institutions that decide the emission of which pollutants will be limited and the time the limit will be set.

This means through cap and trade, industries are only allowed to emit certain amounts of pollutants to the atmosphere, which contributes positively to environmental issues such as the greenhouse effect and climate change. Considering this, it can be concluded the statement that best describes the goal of cap and trade is "To limit the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere" because this system limits the emission of pollutants from companies and industries but only covers air pollutants or pollutants that go to the atmosphere.

in this scenario it would be the consumer demand as most influential in making the decision. the band members need to figure out where and from whom they will make the most money, in other words who out of the two consumer groups - football fans or car drivers - will spend their money, who is more likely to contribute to their cause and buy what they are offering.
