Blog Post #6

This week I have continued my microeconomics and environmental economics classes, which are both quite interesting and relate to my essential question in different ways (I have partially discussed this in a previous blog post). One particular aspect of the environmental economics course has struck my interest—how the private sector responds to government-enforced regulations (or lack thereof), especially regarding pollution. I have been interested in environment-related pollution issues since middle school, and now I am getting to see the business governance side of them. The class has only briefly touched on this relationship, so I am going to do independent research and try to bring it back to my essential question of ESG.
