Okay, I've got this. The key is to focus on the negative impacts that the facility could have on the local area and community. Things like pollution, traffic, and social issues are likely to be the main concerns.

I agree with Carman. The influx of foreign workers could also strain local resources and services, causing further negative externalities.

The correct answer is C) The decision to source workers from abroad. This could potentially lead to issues like cultural clashes, language barriers, and social integration problems in the local community.
