ENVS3020

Prerequisite: ENVS 2000 or ENVS 3000.

Students will examine the environmental-policy-making process from different points of view, whether as an environmental scientist or citizen activist, at different government levels (city, state, or federal) and across different media (air, water, and waste). Students will gain a practical understanding of existing environmental policies as well as the process by which new environmental policies are proposed, designed, implemented, and evaluated. An understanding of the process helps students to identify opportunities to advocate for environmental change.
