Enviromental Laws At A Glance

Generally speaking, every country or nation will have some sort of environmental laws in place. The environmental laws, however, will differ greatly in terms of how they are applied and to what particular extent they are actually enforced. Developed countries such as the United States will prove to have more strict regulations in regards to environmental laws, often times having strict policies that are meant to protect the environment.

However, developing or third world countries may prove to have environmental laws that are more lax in their nature. Furthermore, environmental laws that exist may not always be strictly enforced by the applicable agencies in such countries. Even though the environment is a general concern of the entire world's population, some countries may simply not have the financial means to implement certain environment control or preservation programs when aspects such as hunger and a faltering economy may take precedence.
