ABSTRACT
Most books that discuss environmental law as a major theme tend to focus on the law, and then look at how environmental problems are dealt with in relation to the law. This text is different. It focuses on environmental problems. With a clear understanding of environmental problems in hand, it then turns to legal frameworks and discusses how those frameworks impact environmental issues; in essence, this text looks at how environmental problems are ingested into a legal process. The goal is to provide the reader with a somewhat unique perspective on the relationship between the law and the environment, meaning the law will be used in relational sense, providing a filter that helps us understand environmental issues from an applied perspective. An example may be helpful to understand this point.
