PSC-213 Environmental Policy

GER: NE (Humans and the Natural Environment)
An analysis of the ways and context in which environmental policies are developed, promoted, and deliberated. Issues such as waste management and environmental justice illustrate the ways that individuals, agencies, and elected officials create, implement, enforce, and evaluate such policies. Contemporary case studies in the Greenville area illustrate environmental and sustainability issues such as pollution prevention and promoting local food systems. While conservation policy focuses primarily on the regulation of land, environmental policy has a much broader scope. 4 credits.
