Environmental laws are regulations and statutes designed to protect the natural environment from harm caused by human activities. These laws aim to manage resources, reduce pollution, and conserve wildlife and habitats. They can cover a wide range of issues, including air and water quality, waste management, and land use. Governments at various levels, such as local, state, and federal, create and enforce these laws. Examples include the Clean Air Act and the Endangered Species Act in the United States. Environmental laws help ensure a sustainable future by promoting responsible practices and protecting ecosystems for future generations.
