Opportunity Cost: The True Cost of Every Decision

Student Worksheet

Transitioning away from fossil fuels carries steep upfront costs, but the reading treats inaction as its own cost too, one paid later in environmental damage and health harm if a country skips the switch. It makes the same point on a smaller scale with a student choosing between joining a sports team and volunteering at a local organization, since picking one closes off the specific experience the other would have built.
