Why would we be concerned about negative externalities (what's the main cause)?

• Because there is a cost of benefit of a good/service not included in the purchase price of the product

Why is overwatering one of the biggest cons of irrigation?

• It keeps groundwater resources at a stable level

How does biodiversity not help us determine the health of certain ecosystems?

• When there is a higher biodiversity then that means there's a higher number of ecosystems

• Declining biodiversity can indicate the presence of immense pollution

• Global extinction rate is a big indicator of a strong environmental indicator

• When there is a higher biodiversity then that means there's a healthier ecosystem
