Discussion:
How economics plays a role in determining how many and what type of environmental laws are passed. Conduct some research on one environmental law and complete the following: Texas
Give a description of your law. Including date the law was passed and any background information that you can find on why this law was passed (what spurred the law).
Do you feel that this particular environmental law outweighs the costs?
Has this environmental law improved the environment/situation?
In your own words, please post a response to the Discussion Board and comment on other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your postings.
Instructor Comments:
Note: Environmental laws can be national, state or perhaps local.
After giving background on the regulation, you will want to assess its impact - whether there was an economic impact associated with the law, either positive or negative - a cost vs. benefit analysis; and its effectiveness in improving or protecting the environment. Be specific in answering these; support with data and explain.
