Answer 1

Restrictions of timber harvesting in the Pacific Northwest,

i. Benefits: Decreased deforestation, contribute to a stable climate, and preserve jobs in the tourist industry

ii. Who Cost: Cost jobs in the lumber industry and increase cost to the consumer

Answer 2

Answer:

Encourage the usage of Carpooling (with friends, family, ect) and Public Transit.

Explanation:

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, typically people that go, live or work at school near a major road have increased risks of health problems caused by exposure to air pollution.

This might limit people's freedom if they will have to wait for their carpooling buddy, wasting time.

However, anyone in a city can benefit from lack of air pollution in general.

I don't know about your life, and how'd it relate, so you have to figure that one out.
