Elinor Smith: Robert, thank you so much to be here today,
Robert Chaney: Elinor, thank you.
Elinor Smith: Of course. So we start, the National Environmental Activity ActWhat is usually named is the environmental political political political politics. I know environmental politics can be complicated though. Can you walk for what net is and how you work?
Robert Chaney: So NEPA is the very short rule trying to link all federal agements that have impacted in our human environment on the same page of rules. The problem is all about these agencies – the forest service, the United States of the Wild and the Department of the Fuck Order to Collection to occur or more of the landscape. And NAP. Saying these agencies to reach the ways to show what they do, what the impacts of that action could be, and give the public a thing that would fish in it? Or goes to affect that? ‘. I do
But there is a second level. It’s a guy like Russian nests. Nepa says these agencies to reach all things, but does not give a really specific region to how to do.
