Environmental law involves legal standards that protect and improve the natural environment of the United States. Specifically, environmental law is designed to reduce the negative impact of human activities both on people and on nature. This area of law encompasses a variety of federal, state, and local statutes as well as common law and case law precedents. All aspects of land use, zoning, energy laws, and pollution would fall within the scope of environmental law. This is an extremely complicated area of law.
