There are some rules and regulations that bind the human civilization to the environment. These environmental laws are there to attempt to reduce the impact that humans might have on the Earth, the water and the air. They are in place to try to control and manage these things, as well as take care of repairs that may be needed in a critical situation.

Water is one of the important aspects controlled by these rules and processes. Pollution can seep into the water in streams, oceans, lakes, ground and surface water. The cities and towns rely on these regulations to structure and enforce the usage of their utilities and natural resources.

There are different regulations in order for other aspects of the environment, such as pollution of the air from emissions. These emissions can be coming from vehicles or large factories. These factories put the lives and health of the people in the neighboring cities at risk.

There must be control over the rules and regulations that pertain to the animals, the natural resources and deposits and the forests and trees. There is less oxygen put out into the air when the trees disappear to human developers. As people move across the land, animals are displaced from their homes or forced to move to unfamiliar areas that they might be incompatible with.

Our water and land are resources that environmentalists are very concerned about. It is vital that damage is not done to natural habitats resulting in the extinction of species of animals and plants. This is the main goal of the rules that have been enacted so far. The environment and earth must be protected by guidelines and regulations.

These necessary regulations stem from particular principles that involve sociology, ecology, responsibility and sustainability. There are laws to protect the earth, the people and the animals all together, along with plans to rectify existing issues.

Some of the issues that these environmental laws are trying to fix involve the rapid depletion of some of our most precious natural resources or the contamination of the same, including the water and air we use every day. They seek a balance between what is needed and what is offered as far as preservation, conservation and sustainability. When damages occur, reparations are necessary to quickly resolve the issue to prevent further damage. Enforcement agencies will take charge of making sure the government stays on top of the facilities that handle environmentally dangerous tasks. Criminal penalties can result if the Earth or the environment is damaged by breaking regulations.
