1. True or false: International conventions/protocols (like Paris) for the environmental standards are ineffective. Provide some evidence on emissions before and after these protocols were signed (many emissions got worse – What does Kuznets say? What do you think?
2. Provide some evidence (data) of success and some evidence of failure of our national sustainability public policy (use food, or water, or air, or solid waste or energy as an example…. not all of them).
