For example, adopting solar power instead of traditional energy sources not only saves money but also

                 Quality and Affordability: Competitive Pricing for Products and Services


                 Entrepreneurs work  hard  to  make  products  and  services more  affordable
                 through competition and new ideas. For example, think about how the prices of
                 computers have gone down. When computers were first introduced, they were
                 very expensive and not everyone could afford them. But because of entrepreneurs
                 finding better ways to make computers and competition between companies,
                 the prices have come down a lot. Now, many people can buy computers for
                 much less money, making them more accessible to everyone. This shows how entrepreneurship helps to
                 make things cheaper and better for everyone.
