States should be allowed to enact environmental policies that differ from the federal government because it will allow them to target specific environmental issues that happen only in that state. The advantage to this is that they'll be able to find better solutions to that specific state and a disadvantage is that states may avoid making the laws because of other things, like business.

I think that states should not be able to contradict federal law when it comes to environmental protection. The states can further an environmental policy if they are permitted to by the federal policy.

I think they should be able to because all the states have different environments and they all need to be protected differently. An advantage of this would the states could make more rules specialized to their environments but could also do things to damage them Leave a Reply. |
