The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet.That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries. 专题六 │真题典例 ()1.The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ________.
