Abstract

Gregg Easterbrook's 'Moment on the Earth: The Coming of Age Environmental Optimism' rightly concludes that much has been accomplished in the effort to arrest the deterioration of the environment. However, the book takes the remaining environmental problems too lightly. The global environment may have improved but the fact remains that these problems are very serious and that there should be no letup in efforts to address them.

43. Taking aim toward 2000: rethinking the nation's environmental agenda

Author

Reilly, William K.

Subjects
United States. Environmental Protection Agency -- Planning, Environmental policy -- Planning
Abstract

To meet the environmental challenges of the twenty-first century, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must focus on setting priorities. Risk analysis, supported by sound science and properly communicated to the public will provide a rational and important means of setting those priorities. After it has determined the order in which the problems will be solved, EPA must address these problems by moving beyond the traditional media-specific, command-and-control regulations. The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 show the promise of market-based incentives, and efforts like the 33/50 Project demonstrate the effectiveness of integrated, voluntary programs that focus on pollution prevention. EPA must continue to emphasize these promising new approaches.
