New Tools for Environmental Protection: Education, Information, and Voluntary Measures
There has been increasing concern among environmental protection offi- cials in the federal government about the problem of diminishing returns from regulation. Many believe that the quick environmental fixes from command-and-control regulation mainly have been achieved and that the balance of pollution sources is shifting from large “point sources” to more diffuse sources that are more difficult and expensive to regulate. In addition, changes in the political climate have made it increasingly difficult to use command-and-control regulations. Consequently, there has been a search for alternatives to regulation, including a shift to market-based approaches such as tradable emissions permits, to informational approaches, and to voluntary measures.
