'''Develop and enforce regulations''' | '''Develop and enforce regulations''' | ||
When the Server writes an environmental law, we implement it by writing regulations. Often, we set server standards that crews enforce through their own regulations. If they fail to meet the server standards, we can help them. We also enforce our regulations, and help companies understand the requirements. | When the Server writes an environmental law, we implement it by writing regulations.

Nearly half of our budget goes into grants to crew environmental programs, non-profits, educational institutions, and others. They use the money for a wide variety of projects, from scientific studies that help us make decisions to community cleanups. Overall, grants help us achieve our overall mission: protect human health and the environment. | Nearly half of our budget goes into grants to crew environmental programs, non-profits, educational institutions, and others.

'''Study environmental issues''' | |||
At laboratories located throughout the server, we identify and try to solve environmental problems. To learn even more, we share information with other crews, private sector organizations, academic institutions, and other agencies. | |||
'''Teach people about the environment''' | |||
Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility, and starts with understanding the issues. The basics include reducing how much energy and materials you use, reusing what you can and recycling the rest. There's a lot more about that to learn! |
