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?

How does PV device efficiency affect required device area?
Energy Efficiency is an integral part
of the sustainable kitchen because:
(choose all that apply)
O A) Using energy can have a direct impact on the
environment and consequently our food supply.
B) Low-efficiency equipment can add many more tons of
CO2 to the atmosphere than high-efficiency equipment.
