Altruism is a type of behavior in which an animal sacrifices its own interest for that of another animal or group of animals. Altruism is the opposite of selfishness; individuals performing altruistic acts gain nothing for themselves. Examples of altruism

The article and the lecture are about coal ash, which is the waste of power plants, and its effect into the environment consequently, it is suggested that new regulations must be incorporated to the process of energy. The author in the passage believes that some policies have been already implemented in order to reduce the effect of the chemical presented in the production of power. However, the lecturer casts doubt on the claims made by the author. She thinks that those ideas do not seem to see practical.
First, the author claims that the power company has implemented the use of liner-special material which prevents coal ash components from polluting the atmosphere. Nevertheless, this statement is challenged by the lecturer who posits that this policy is just required for new sites of the company. Therefore, chemicals emit by the decomposition of this waste still continue harming the soil and the water of the surroundings. She states that new strict regulated must be required no only for old building but also for new ones.
Second, the article exposes that another technique used by power companies is recycling. The author explains that most of the coal ash is recycled in order to use it for building new materials such as concrete and bricks. Nonetheless, the lecturer discredits this proposal by explaining that clients may not trust material recycled when they are harmful to the environment. Furthermore, she points out that recycled mercury is one compelling example of this because it is unlikely that customers but this material.
Finally, the author mentions that the implementation of strict rules may involve an increase not only in costs of production but also in the price of electricity. The lecturer, on the other hand, puts forth the idea that this new regulation may not increase so much the cost of production because it will be only 1% of the costs that the companies spend. Consequently, people will be willing to spend a little more money because the increase in the price of electricity will not increase so much and exclusively because it will help the environment.
