Answer to Question 1

Answer: Four possible ways: using alternative technologies to change long-term negative consequences; moving future negative consequences to the present; adding immediate punishments for undesirable behaviors; reinforcing more desirable environmental alternatives.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Moving future negative consequences to the present involves paying for current use or misuse of resources immediately, rather than in the future. Adding immediate punishments for undesirable behavior involves paying for this behavior immediately (rather than in the future), such as by paying daily for car pollution at the individual level.
