Part 1: Define NEPA. Now describe whether or not it constitutes a special case or is it just another environmental law? (In other words, is it different from most environmental regulations?) Use specific examples to justify and defend your answer.

Part 2: Pick an environmental area, then find the environmental policies for two different nations (the United States and one other nation), then compare and contrast the two policies in those two nations. When looking at these two approaches, can you determine how policy and regulation are related in the case of environmental programs?

In both questions cite all sources used both within and at the end of your answer. A fully developed response should go beyond your textbook and required readings (although may include them), have multiple citations from valid sources (no wiki-anything; use .gov, .edu. or .org websites) and should avoid direct quotes from others; rather relying on your own synthesis.

Please submit your essays as an attachment to this assignment. Your report should be 2-3 pages and supported by at least 2 scholarly references.
