5. Who is responsible for enforcing environmental health policies and legislation, and how can they do so effectively?

Herman Philpault

The people in charge of making sure we have laws to keep our environment healthy are our governments. They make and enforce rules to protect the air, water, and land.

Governments appoint different people to do this job. Some work for the environment department, and some work for health. They all help keep us safe by testing the air, water, and land to see if any polluting is going on.

They have ways to check if companies are following the rules, and if they are not, they may get fined or punished. It is important for everyone to follow these rules, so our environment stays clean and healthy.

However, enforcing these laws can be challenging. Sometimes it takes a lot of courage and determination because people may resist change or not understand why it is important to protect the environment. But we can all do our part by making choices that promote a healthy environment, such as recycling, conserving water, and minimizing the use of harmful chemicals.

In conclusion, the government is responsible for enforcing environmental health policies and legislation to keep our environment clean and healthy. It is important for everyone to do their part, and follow the rules and guidelines to protect our environment.
