Question

Of the following practices, which is the least sustainable over time?

A. A farmer rotates his crops.
B. A music fan buys music as digital files rather than as CDs.
C. A shopper chooses to purchase local foods rather than order imported foods.
D. A homeowner removes citrus trees from his property to build a barbecue area.

Answer 1

D.

The farmer rotating his crops encourages nitrogen regeneration in the soil.

The music fan buying digital files creates less physical waste.

The shopper buying local foods cuts back on their carbon footprint and potential human rights violations in the agricultural industry by shopping and eating local.

But there is no benefit to cutting down citrus trees to build a BBQ area.
