We all want to live in a healthy environment, yet most of us make compromises to enjoy the benefits of modern society. And some forms of pollution we have more control over than others. How much influence should citizens have over the quality of the environment they live in? How much pollution is ok in our air, water and homes? When are environmental regulations helpful or harmful for individuals, businesses, and communities? Is keeping our environment cleaner good or bad for the economy? What is the government’s role in protecting the environment? Does the government look out for the interests of people or business? And when are those interests the same and when are they different?
