- Which of the following does NOT describe an externality? A: A flower farm is located in a semi-urban part of town. The flowers attract pollinators that help nearby farms but also provoke allergies for some of the local residents. B: A cranberry farm releases acidic water into a nearby river that is an important habitat for many native species. C: A firm voluntarily adopts a new technology that reduces how much pollution it emits into the air, resulting in cleaner air for everyone. D: An industrial-scale farm uses high amounts of pesticides which reduces the farm’s ability to produce food over the longer term.arrow_forwardManatees are mammals that live in the warm, clear water environment of Florida's shallow rivers. They are large, peaceful, gentle, curious creatures, and slow-moving swimmers. They spend many hours each day feeding on water plants. Manatees must surface to breathe every 15 minutes. The manatee's environment is changing because of hotels and homes being built along Florida's rivers, and the change is affecting them in a negative way. Noise and activity from people and boats scare them. Manatees can be seriously injured by powerboat propellers because the manatees cannot tell the direction from which the boats are coming. The water plants the manatees use for food are being destroyed. As a result of these and other changes in their surroundings, manatees are on the endangered species list and may one day be gone from Florida's rivers. What are two environmental conditions that might lead to the disappearance of manatees from Florida's rivers?
