Environmental Policies In Action

 This week, you read about policies designed to protect the environment. Some policies have been promoted or supported globally through joint efforts of intergovernmental organizations, such as the United Nations and the World Health Organization. More than ever before, nations around the world have begun to enforce legislation related to environmental protections. The United States government has a long history of implementing key environmental policies for the benefit of its citizens and future generations. Some examples include: Clean Air Act (1970) Clean Water Act (1972) Endangered Species Act (1973) Superfund Act (1980)
