Environmental Policy Making Term Paper by Patrick James Lontoc

The paper discusses how public influence has ensured that corporations and the national government react to the environmental problems caused by industrialization. The paper explains that individuals and groups can impact the policy-making process by using their rights to access information, attend and participate in public hearings and by joining the different interest groups that pressure and lobby for their ecological and environmental concerns. The paper also relates that public pressure has caused corporations to have a corporate social responsibility which ensures that all stakeholders, including the environment, are not affected negatively by their production.
