PrepTest 138 - Section 3 - Question 14

Show summary

Mayor: Our city faces a difficult environmental problem caused by the enormous amount of garbage that we must dispose of. ████████ ███ █████████ ████████ █████ ███████ ██████ ████ ███████ █████ ████████ █████ ████████ ██ █████████████████ ██ ███ ████ ██ ██████████ ███ ███████ ██████ ██ █████████████ ███████

"Surprising" Phenomenon

Why would new recycling projects be counterprodutive to the goal of minimizing environmental damage, even though the high amount of garbage produced by the city causes environmental damage and the recycling projects would reduce the amount of garbage?

Objective

The correct answer will suggest some way that new recycling projects could lead to more overall environmental damage than forgoing those recycling projects. Perhaps, for example, new recycling projects end up harming the environment in other ways, even if they help by reducing the amount of garbage.
