Discussion Post: Environmental Policy and the Poor
The goals of environmental policy and our concern for the poor inevitably conflict. The burden of any attempt to improve the environment necessarily falls disproportionately on the poor. Prepare a two- to three-page paper (not including the title and reference pages) on the following:
o First, describe at least two policy examples that generate or have generated disproportionate impacts.
o Next, explain how a current policy or theoretical policy (of your design) mitigates such disproportionate impacts.
o Third, evaluate the effects of these policies, and describe how they function - be sure to use specific examples from the market to support your evaluation.
The response must include a reference list. One-inch margins, double-space, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
