Explain why it is deemed better to use Sea freight rather than air

AExplanation:
It would be rare to find a supplier who does not emit any form of pollution. However, part of ethical and responsible sourcing is to make effort to reduce impact of population on the planets. Pollution can be factory emission, Noise, smell, Transportation Development, waste disposal. Transportation is a major cause of pollution. The carbon dioxide emitted from vehicles contributes greatly to air contamination. Yet it is better to use sea freight rather than air because it has a smaller impact on the environment.

I’m a bit confused about the pollution aspect. I know sea freight is better for the environment, but what about the emissions from ships? I hope I can remember the details during the exam.

I feel like there was something about transit times in our notes. Sea freight takes longer, but I guess that’s a trade-off for being more eco-friendly?

I think we practiced a question similar to this where we talked about cost-effectiveness too. Sea freight is usually cheaper, right? That might be another reason to prefer it over air.

I remember discussing the environmental impact of different transportation methods in class. Sea freight definitely has a lower carbon footprint compared to air freight, but I’m not sure about the exact numbers.

Okay, I remember learning about this in class. I believe the correct answer is Plan Human Resource Management, as that's the process of defining the project roles and responsibilities.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. I think the answer is B, "Tailor MoV activity to suit the subject". That seems to be the most relevant MoV process based on the question.
