Why do ice cream cones cost money to buy, but the air we breathe is free?

actually air is no longer free to all, just visit an oxygen bar

Here's the obvious answer.  If you use product placement, you limit the number of businesses competing to advertise in your air time.  \n\nIf you limit the number of busiesses (food product businesses)competing for your advertising air you'll reduce the amount you can charge per minute of advertising air time.\n\nSo, I'd speculate they are making the wise business choice of letting competition keep their advertising prices at a higher premium.

It's beneficial in some activities, harmful in others. A parachutist needs air resistance. It forces us to use considerable energy in travel. Cars are designed to minimize air resistance to maximize fuel economy.\n\nIt's a fact of our world. We make use of it when we can. Tolerate it, and/or minimize it, when its effect is negative.

no. Nothing is ever free. There is always a cost. Good things always take work.

quite common for new commercial buildings to have some sky or roof gardens these days. It helps to bring down the building temperature and cut air con cost. And provide a place for smokers to get their dose of nicotine\n\nHotels like to have that too, to create the cosy effect.

Because that would make everyone in the world more greedy.  If everything was free, people would think there was no problems, but there would be.  It's true when people say money makes the world go 'round, because there would be no love for other people.  People would just care about the free stuff, not each other and their health.  Does that answer your question?

you get more air from the trees, it takes away carbon dioxide, and it protects the ozone from further damage.

Right, here goes....\nA:  Yes.  Basically because he doesn't care about the ice-cream.  It is only the way it is served.\nB:  Probably, but that depends on the definition criteria.  Is the same cone as the previous a new possibility.  It all depends how he orders the cone.\nC:  Depends on the amount of flavours.\nIf this is a homework question, it is totally ridiculous.  It leaves far too many variables loose, and does not define the parameters.

temperance or control... you have the freedon to choose. but instead of ice cream why not try fruits, some fruits are sweet and really have a good taste.

Simply put, it means that one cannot get something for nothing. Even if something appears to be free, there is always a catch. You may get free food at a bar during "happy hour", but the bar-owner either figures out a way to get you to pay or gets some sort of benefit (such as attracting new customers). This may or may not be true at the individual level, depending on the interpretation of the phrase.\n\nThough it is possible for an individual to get a "free lunch" (eg. a company cuts its costs and gains competitive advantage), someone ends up paying the cost of the "lunch" (the cuts increase factory pollution). Even though there is no individual or private cost, there is a social cost. Similarly, someone can benefit for free from a beneficial externality or from a public good. But someone has to pay the cost of producing these benefits.

you left out a lot of info lmao.\nwhat is the humidity of the air and what presure are you talking about.\nHeat and cold are regulated by the moisture content of the air.

ALL human beings inhale atmospheric air, absorb its oxygen, and exhale carbon dioxide.\nOn the other hand, ALL plants intake atmospheric air, absorb its carbon dioxide, and exhale the oxygen - which proves beneficial to humankind !

Hi. It is a way to promote lessening of a person, company, or other entity's emission of co2. Emit less and get a credit. Not monetary ( at least in the States) but a good concept.
