Liveinjapan  +  474125 Fri, 08 Feb 08 03:17 AM The council's report says more than 21 million tons of CO2 emissions can be cut if businesses tighten their reduction targets. Does 'businesses' mean 'industries' and 'their' refer to that? Thanks LiJ   Liveinjapan Joined on Sun, Feb 4 2007 Osaka, Japan Senior Member 2,280 Please feel free to correct any words I wrote.LiJ

Well, essentially yes.  Businesses are individual companies; industries are major groups of companies in the same kind of business, considered together (as the tourist industry, the steel industry, etc.) Mister Micawber Joined on Wed, Aug 4 2004 Yokohama Veteran Member 30,840 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master-- that's all.'
