Thomas Shogren, Chapter 2, Question #6

The passages that I found interesting in this chapter were the passages about babies safety in planes, cashiers stealing from restaurants, and green taxes. People wanted to make planes safer for babies by requiring them to use carseats. However by doing this they require families to buy an extra plane ticket which is expensive. Due to this more people will drive than fly which is much more dangerous than flying. The second situation is the one in which restaurants put signs up that say if you don't get a receipt your food is free. At first thought you would think that this would cause restaurants to lose money but actually it saves them money. By making sure that all customers receive receipts the restaurant is able to stop cashiers from pocketing money by not printing a receipt. The third situation is green taxes. I believe that the green taxes are a great idea because they will provide revenue as well as decrease the harm done to the ecosystem.
