11 WELL DESIGNED ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS, WHICH INCLUDE IMPLEMENTATION AND ENFORCEMENT SYSTEMS, ADVANCE A GREEN ECONOMY BY IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF THE WORKFORCE AND COMMUNITIES, CONSERVING NATURAL RESOURCES AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES.

I BELIEVE THAT THIS LAW WILL HAVE TO BE VASTLY IMPROVED AND AMENDED IN ORDER TO CONTINUE PROVIDING PROTECTION TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
