With “going green” and “sustainability” on lips around the world, Chicopee environmental litigation is of increasing importance in our community. As a catch-all term, “environmental law,” from which environmental litigation is derived, describes agreements, treaties, policies, conventions, rules, regulations, statues, ordinances, and common laws that work together to protect the natural state of the world. This protection is both for the sake of the natural world itself, as well as for the protection of its inhabitants. This protection includes air and water quality, wildlife habitat, “wild” or undeveloped land, and biodiversity. Conversation, protection, and restoration extend to many more areas, too numerous to name here.
While the environmental movement prompts us to think big, i.e. global, the distant felling of forests and dumping of chemicals is not necessarily the only place of import. Chicopee environmental litigation is happening in our Chicopee community, and impacts us directly. It also forms a small part of the web of the global environment. Seen up close, through a local lens, Chicopee environmental litigation can be of great importance.
Environmental laws are too often the subject of political interest, with appearance taking the place of effectiveness. At all levels, having a law in place can be more important that making sure it is accomplishing what it should through enforcement. While most experts agree that even an ineffectual law on the books is better than no law, enforcement must enter the picture at some point.
Chicopee environmental litigation can serve as enforcement. When public institutions do not or cannot enforce statutes, litigation can bring negligent action to light and give these laws the teeth they need. Chicopee environmental litigation also serves to temper laws by attempting to put them into action, taking them out of the ideal and into the world. In these ways, Chicopee environmental litigation meets important needs in the environmental and legal worlds.
