Environment
In many ways, America's environment
has improved dramatically since the first Earth Day in 1970. The quality
of the nation's air has improved substantially with respect to many pollutants,
particularly lead after it was phased out as a gasoline additive several
years ago. Water pollution from "point sources" like industrial facilities
and wastewater treatment plants has seen similar improvement, though
pollution from "nonpoint" sources -- principally urban, suburban and
agriculture runoff -- has proved an intractable problem of ongoing concern.
While these and other domestic environmental
issues draw continued attention, however, many environmentalists are now
placing international issues at the top of their list of priorities.
Issues like global warming, population growth, deforestation, and the
continued loss of many species of plants and animals have reached increasing
prominence on the environmental agenda.
These issues are not without controversy.
While few people consider themselves anti-environment, many environmental
policies draw considerable opposition from those who are adversely affected
economically. Domestically, industries complain of a heavy regulatory
burden and question the benefits of new environmental proposals. Property
owners complain that their rights are being infringed. There is also
significant conflict in the international arena, where poor, developing nations
argue that they can not afford new environmental restrictions and that
rich, industrialized nations, who have until recently been the world's
primary polluters, should shoulder most of the burden.
All of these issues, both domestic and
international, are the focus of this section.
