Comparing in detail the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) would take writing a small book.

Today it is hard not to be bombarded with images and news of environmental degradation this way and that. What that exactly means for humans, other species, and the world as a whole, is an ever-growing question that has yet to be fully answered.
