Description
EVST 255: Environmental Politics and Law (Spring 2010, Open Yale Courses). Instructor: Professor John Wargo.
Can law change human behavior to be less environmentally damaging? Law will be examined through case histories including: environmental effects of national security, pesticides, air pollution, consumer products, plastics, parks and protected area management, land use, urban growth and sprawl, public/private transit, drinking water standards, food safety, and hazardous site restoration. In each case we will review the structure of law and evaluate its strengths and weaknesses. (from oyc.yale.edu)
