Follow-up Question

Hello, 

Can you tell me if for this exercise, there are 6 or 7 entities? and if, tell me why? Because someone told me that GreenChampion is an entity but I'm not sure about that. 

I wanted to know also, why we don't connect carbon transaction with product with the verb "recorded" since the sentence said that : 'Optionally, the single product that the carbon transaction relates to can also be recorded'.

Thank you.

Sorry but I don't understand your explication. in the solution, you say that CEO is an entity and now you say the opposite? I do not understand??

Je ne vois rien à propos du GreenChampion.

Follow-up Question

I don't understand why CEO is an entity? For me, we link company to employee by the relation "composed" and composed has a CEO name which is an attribute of the relation. 

And why there is nothing about GreenChampion?
