Book Description
As federal cutbacks in the 1980s created a gap in environmental policy, a new brand of policy -- civic environmentalism -- emerged as states and communities stepped up their efforts to protect the environment. Three case studies illustrate civic environmentalism: Iowa's protection of groundwater from agricultural pollution -- the Everglades cleanup -- and energy conservation in Colorado.
