Abstract

This article presents the author's visit and observation at the Thrupp Lake in Great Britain. The lake is a favorite place by people to relax and enjoy nature. The lake is now facing an environmental problem that could potentially kill it and so deprive the people of a good place to find relaxation. Npower, the company which owns Great Britain's third largest coal-fired power station, is threatening to black out two million customers if the government will impose strict environmental protection regulation preventing it from dumping on the lake poisonous ash.

Abstract

The article presents several environmental questions formulated by the British environmental policy makers as an exercise of role-reversing. These questions, labeled as "high policy relevance," are aimed to facilitate the process of whittling down the number of questions. Among the questions formulated are centered on the time it takes for the seabed to recover from disturbance such as dredging, wind-farm construction, and oil and gas extraction; the impacts of recreational activities on biodiversity; the effects of domestic cats on vertebrate populations in rural and urban environments; the consequences for biodiversity of changes in water quality and sedimentation in rivers; and on the reason why woodland birds declined.
