What would the American landscape look like if we had no legislation? Would it be habitable today? In this episode of World Ocean Radio we discuss the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Environmental Protection Agency, the foundation of which is the Public Trust Doctrine, which we began discussing last week in Part 1. This episode is part of a series on designing an enduring plan for the future which will protect natural resources such as water, wildlife, and air beyond the challenging circumstances of the 21st century.
