3. For those of you who are interested in environmental questions, here's one that gets to the heart of most environmental problems. You, and a person very similar to you, live in separate apartments and you each use about 50 units of hot water per month. A. If you decide to share an apartment, will your combined hot water use be greater than 100 units, less than 100 units or very close to 100 units? Explain your answer from an economic perspective. B. How does your answer change if you marry this person? C. What does this have to do with the environment? Hint: Answers involving added efficiencies in living together or even in showering together are interesting, but not the point of this question. If you like, consider the extreme example of sharing accommodations with 1,000 people as I did in a dormitory.
