Answer:  Marginal analysis

Explanation:

Marginal analysis is used to evaluate the marginal benefits and marginal costs of reducing pollution.

As the complexity of environmental protection grows, inexpensive and simple ways of mitigating emissions start to decrease, and more costly approaches need to be used and the marginal cost is increasing. Often, marginal benefits are reduced as environmental security increases.  

As the amount of protection for the environment rises to, the marginal costs outweigh the marginal benefits. Society is not allocating resources effectively at this stage of environmental security, since so many resources are giving up to reduce emissions.

As the scope of the environmental regulation grows, additional environmental spending will likely result in increased marginal costs.

Hence, marginal analysis is a specific tool used to way the cost of benefit versus cleanup in the environment.

Why are there fewer organisms in each level as you go up the energy pyramid ​
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation: The energy pyramid describes how energy gets distributed through an ecosystem. The more there is of an organism on the energy pyramid, the more it gives overall to the ecosystem. The less there is of an organism, the less it gives to the ecosystem. Take the Floridian Everglades as an example. There is an abundance of sawgrass, and that makes up the foundation of the system, along with mangroves and such. But there are less of predators in the ecosystem because they only feed of of their prey like small mammals or fish. They never start the food chain, they end it.
