This is what i used, and i got it right: "Since the project is about time efficiency they should probably go with Camilla it isn't that big of a price difference either way and they'll get it done more than two times faster for only a 50 dollar price difference."

A trade-off is a situation where one thing steps up while another steps down; or it can also be a decision that imply dropping the quality of a design in order to gain something else.

Companies sometimes re-organize their logistics in in order to improve certain areas or infrastructure.

The project of SciTech, (a well known Multi-disciplinary organisation specializing in biotechnology), of reducing the carbon footprint from transport, requires a combination of new vehicle technologies, behavioral changes and investments on the generation of renewable energy.

So they need to double the production of renewable electricity, or convert a portion of the agricultural ground to bio-fuel production. in order to sustain low carbon transport with other energy sources around.
