Answer to Question 1

Plastic requires a lot of handling, and such handling involves either humans or
very expensive machinery. In either case, this means a greater cost than handling other
materials.

Answer to Question 2

Yes, absolutely. In most cases, the more people, the greater the energy use.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
