Protecting the Environment with Law

Paper Summary:

This paper shows how prevention is the key to eliminating the continuation of environmental degradation and how environmental law makes sure that objective is realized. Environmental law has come a long way in cleaning up the mess created by man-made pollution. The paper examines both the Clean Air Act of 1963 and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 set out to rectify the insurmountable degradation overtaking the air, water and soil supplies. It shows that with their continued efforts, ongoing improvements will serve to further the purpose these two acts were established for in the first place.

From the Paper:

"The environment has been in trouble for a long time. Decades and decades of misuse, exploitation and degradation have placed a tremendous burden upon the land to the point where humanity is having to scramble to preserve what is left. Re-establishing what has already been destroyed, as well as protecting what still exists, is what environmentalist and government agencies are working feverishly to achieve. With the support of environmental law, significant trends have been established to rectify damage already done and prevent any further from occurring."
