Business Energy and Food Supplies. The underlying
theme of this course is energy. As a whole, the
global society needs to find ways to reduce our
energy consumption. The food pyramid is a prime
example of energy transfer within individual
ecosystems and the biosphere. As you increase the
tropic levels, a greater amount of energy is
lost. Some environmentalists argue that humans
should eat a vegetarian diet in order to conserve
energy.

Program. Should the government continue to
develop voluntary programs or do more drastic
actions employing regulations that enforce
compliance of governments, industries, and
individuals be instituted? Defend your answer.
