Task · part of 5. Five examples of energy waste near you, and the trade-offs
5(b). What habits would have to change, and why people resist
Required
Changes to routine, habit or convenience, and why people might not want to make them. The second half is the interesting one and is easy to skip.
Notes and warnings
Note. The second half is the part that gets skipped: not just what would have to change, but WHY PEOPLE MIGHT RESIST the change. That is the question the requirement is actually built around, and it is what separates a list of suggestions from an argument.
