[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Environmentalists believe that while federal environmental laws are essential, there are still other ways to accomplish the many goals that still have to be attained by means of state and local laws. It is true that there has been a great amount achieved in the nearly thirty years since the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) was implemented; indeed, most environmental rules have proven themselves to be cost-effective and good for the economy. But some critics contend that not enough local attention has been given as a means by which to offset the complacency that exists today. They claim there has to be more involvement from all people, not just those in federal governmental programs or involved with large corporations. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
