The town is which I live is Negotino, Republic of Macedonia. The is located in the driest part of the country, so it is very common that there's problems with water during the warmer part of the year. The landscape is mostly dominated by two things, vineyards and barren land which has the characteristics of a is semi-desert, so the town, and the municipality as whole, lacks in wood as well.

My two suggestions for making the town and the surrounding area more sustainable would be:

1. Planting the whole barren land with wild or semi-wild apricots

The wild and semi-wild apricots thrive in this climate, do not need any maintenance, don't have problems with high temperatures and droughts, nor with very low temperatures. From those apricots, the fruits can be used for production of juices and kompots, selling them for much lower prices in the municipality and throughout the country, so the municipality can get a significant income, income that can be used for improving the town's infrastructure and any projects. The shells of the apricots are excellent for heating, thus can be distributed to the households throughout the town as a material for heating during the winter. The trees will also contribute to better air quality and lower the effects of the strong winds.

2. Construction of water collectors

Construction of water collectors will be extremely useful, considering the semi-arid climate in the area. The water collected during the spring and autumn can be used for all sorts of things in the town, thus minimizing, or maybe even eliminating the water problem during the drier parts of the year.

18. All of the following represent examples of the incidence of tax, EXCEPT for *
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

You didn't give the options and I couldn't find the exact question online. Let me try help out.

Incidence of tax is the impact that a tax simply has on how the economic welfare are being distributed. It refers to how tax is being distributed between the producers and the buyers of a particular good. It should be noted that the tax burden is shared by the sellers depending on the elasticity of the said product.

For example, in a situation whereby a $2 tax is imposed on each good a producer produces, if the producer then pass the tax to the final consumers when he raised the price of the goods by $2, we can simply say that such good has a price inelastic as the entire burden falls on the consumer.

Also, assuming the producer can't increase prices because such good is price elastic, that is, there will be a greater change in the quantity of the goods demanded, the burden will be felt by the producer alone. Here, we can say that the tax incidence falls on the producer.

Explain how physical and environmental resources determine how they are used​
den301095 [7]

Answer:

How does the use of physical resources impact the environment?

In short, raw material extraction and processing always impact on the environment, resulting as they do in soil degradation, water shortages, biodiversity loss, damage to ecosystem functions and global warming exacerbation. ... Improper product use provokes noxious emissions that can end up in our water, soil and air.

What are the resources of environment?

Food from plants and animals, wood for cooking, heating, and building, metals, coal , and oil are all environmental resources. Clean land, air, and water are environmental resources, as are the abilities of land, air, and water to absorb society's waste products.

Hope this helps.
