Definition
An environmental regulation is any legal restriction that is enacted to control the way people interact with the environment in order to reduce the negative effects of human interaction with nature. Most of these regulations are enforced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Business applications
Depending on the specific regulation, there are many ways these restrictions can affect business. For example, to comply with EPA regulations, a business needs to know the proper way to dispose of old computers and electronics equipment.
Concerns
Some have complained that environmental regulations have gone too far; however, another argument reveals that perhaps they haven’t gone far enough. There has been a recent era of deregulation that some say has spurred along the global warming problem.
