ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

West Coast Environmental Law

Alright kiddo, let me explain environmental law on the West Coast in a way you can understand.

Environmental law is rules and regulations that are in place to protect our planet and all the living things that call it home. On the West Coast of the United States, there are laws that help keep the air, water, land, and animals safe from harm.

These laws were put in place because people were doing things that were not good for the environment. For example, some factories used to release a lot of pollution into the air and water, which made people and animals sick.

Now, because of laws, factories have to clean up their pollution and make sure they aren't hurting the environment. They also have to use renewable energy sources, like wind and solar power, which are better for the environment.

The West Coast also has laws that protect animals, like whales, sea turtles, and salmon. These laws make sure that people don't hurt or kill these animals, and that their habitats aren't destroyed.

So, to sum it up, West Coast environmental law is a set of rules in place to protect our fragile environment and all the living things that call it home. It's like a superhero that fights against pollution and harm to our planet!
