The solution to any environmental problem that is not the result of government mismanagement can only lie in major changes in consumer habits. But major changes in consumer habits will occur only if such changes are economically enticing. As a result, few serious ecological problems will be solved unless the solutions are made economically enticing.
The conclusion drawn in the argument above follows logically if the assumption that most environmental problems that are not the result of government mismanagement are major ecological problems is made.
