Assignment 2: Environmental Policy
Due Week 10 and worth 180 points
There are several environmental laws, regulations, and policies
that currently influence your life, and they include the
following:
NEPA
The Clean Air Act
The Clean Water Act
The Endangered Species Act
The Superfund
CITES
The Montreal Protocol
The Basel Convention
Choose one of these environmental regulations, or another
policy that interests you; then, research your chosen regulation
or policy’s requirements and environmental and economic
impacts. Remember that the Strayer Library is a good place to
start. http://research.strayer.edu
Write a 3–5-page paper in which you do the following:
Describe three key elements of the regulation or policy you
chose. Specifically, discuss who is affected and what actions
they are required to undertake, including federal and state
agencies and specific industries, and how these requirements are
enforced.
Assess three effects this regulation or policy had on our
environment. Next, quantify its effects, if possible, to analyze
whether or not the regulation had the desired effect on the
environment.
Discuss three economic effects of your chosen policy or
regulation. Next, describe the direct costs of implementation, as
well as the effect the regulation has had on economic growth. If
possible, find a benefits/cost analysis that will provide you with
objective analyses of this regulation’s economic impact.
Speculate whether or not you believe that this policy or
regulation has been successful overall. Next, debate whether or
not your chosen policy or regulation has promoted
environmental benefits or outweighed its economic costs.
Lastly, determine whether you would recommend renewing this
policy or regulation when it comes to its expiration date, or
whether you should let the policy or regulation expire. Justify
your response.
