TEXT 1
ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Ecology and environmental protection can be a vital issue in modern business. Ecology—the
relationship between people and their environment—is an important managerial consideration from a legal as well as societal viewpoint.
Nearly everyone accepts the premise that we should maintain an ecologically sound
environment, but achieving this goal requires trade-offs that we are not always willing to
make. For example, although we fear the oil-spill danger of supertankers, we insist upon
readily available supplies of gasoline at reasonable prices Coal-burning boilers were once
converted to oil-using furnaces in order to cut air pollution, but since coal is relatively
plentiful in the United States. Some plants have reverted to using it.
Ecological goals are important; however, the real issue is whether we can coordinate
These goals with other societal and economic objectives On this, no clear concensus has
emerged.

70. A clear concensus is vital in__________.
