American environmental policy seems to contradict itself by encouraging exploration for fossil fuels while limiting licenses to do the exploration. Another aspect is the encouragement of alternative forms of energy with very little funding.
the national forrest are supposed to be managed for sustainable yield & multiple use,but lumbering was emphasized over other land uses for decades .
Environmental policy refers to the commitment of an organization to the laws, regulations, and other policy mechanisms concerning environmental issues and sustainability. These issues generally include air and water pollution, solid waste management, biodiversity, ecosystem management, maintenance of biodiversity, the protection of natural resources, wildlife and endangered species. Policies concerning energy or regulation of toxic substances including pesticides and many types of industrial waste are part of the topic of environmental policy. This policy can be deliberately taken to direct and oversee human activities and thereby prevent harmful effects on the biophysical environment and natural resources, as well as to make sure that changes in the environment do not have harmful effects on humans.[1http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_policyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_policy
To study the environmental profile of a small town, human interaction with the environment and the relationships between them would be studied. The study would also include basic ecological and environmental factors, as well asethics, policy, politics, law, economics, philosophy, environmental sociology and environmental justice, planning, pollution control and natural resource management.
The US Dept of Environmental Protection: EPA leads the nation's environmental science, research, education and assessment efforts.

i looked for this answer for an hour
An example of how American environmental policy is contradictory is that the national forests are supposed to be managed for sustainable yield and multiple use, but lumbering was emphasized over other land uses for decades. This is contradictory because lumbering cannot easily co-exist with many of the other activities, like hiking, hunting, and camping. The other answers are examples of how legislation worked to protect the environment.
