	Environmental Policy: The Next Generation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Environmental regulations have become so contentious that it is an article of faith in the environmental community that any important regulation will end up in court.
		The central problem for twenty-first century environmental policy is how to develop new strategies for attacking new environmental problems, how to develop better strategies for solving the old ones, and how to do both in ways that are more efficient, less taxing, and engender less political opposition.
		The challenge of environmental policy for the new millennium is to do everything that the first generation of environmental policy did—but to do it better—and to devise a second generation of environmental policy to solve problems that the first generation did not or could not.

	Environmental Policy
		Environmental exploitation violates the principle of social justice and is a direct violation of the NASW Code of Ethics.
		Environmental discrimination is evident in critical decisions such as managing waste in low-income urban neighborhoods and rural areas; locating factories and industrial plants that pose a potential danger to surrounding communities; and the disproportionately high rates of diseases, such as asthma, suffered by some population groups.
		Therefore, social workers have a professional interest, beyond the personal vested interest everyone shares, in the viability of the natural environment, including the noxious effect of environmental degradation on people, especially oppressed individuals and communities, and they have a professional obligation to become knowledgeable and educated about the precarious position of the natural environment.
