ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY: The degree to which the naturally occurring resources of the planet (land, air, and water) are free of artificial impurities or waste products generated by human activity. Pollution is the primary nemesis of environmental quality. As pollution waste residuals are discharged into the environment, environmental quality declines. Like other economic notions, environmental quality is subjective in the sense that it affects the satisfaction of wants and needs.

BLACK DISMALAPOD
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who knows the secret tricks to every video game ever made. Family and friends come to you for help with their computers and video games. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time browsing through a long list of dot com websites seeking to buy either hand lotion, a big bottle of hand lotion or a lighted magnifying glass. Be on the lookout for small children selling products door-to-door. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter N, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 205176. Your preferred shopping venue is convenience stores. Your special symbol is the pound sign (#).
Is this You?
As a Black Dismalapod, you tend to be grumpy and gloomy, morose and melancholy, and often downcast and disgruntled. You don't really trust others and expect only the worst from them. You are seldom disappointed. You tend to spend a lot of time by yourself. Sadly, you recognize that you are destined to come up on the short end of any economic transaction.
This isn't me! What am I?

Fact 6: Our Unknown EconomyDr. Nova Cain, DDS, has her office in the mini-mall just north of city hall. You know the sort of mini-mall. It has a branch of Interstate OmniBank, Smilin' Ted's All-Comers Insurance Agency, an auto parts store, a branch of the public library, and four chiropractors. Dr. Cain's location near the Shady Valley City Hall is most fortunate. One of my back molars is beginning to shoot sharp pains through my eyeball, into my brain, and out the back of my head. I've been meaning to stop by for a cleaning and check up, but, well, the thought of sharp needles and high-speed drills grinding away large portions of my teeth convinced me that other activities were more important. Now, however, just as we're trying to trek through the complexities of the economy, that back molar has decided to throb incessantly. It's best if I stop in and let the kind and (hopefully) gentle Dr. Cain check it out. Guess what? ROOT CANAL!
