Enforce laws on environment

Fully enforcing and improving the current laws would be more effective in checking environmental pollution than elevating the position of the environmental department, says a signed article in Jiangnan Metropolis News. An excerpt follows:

In the face of worsening environmental pollution, some experts have called for the establishment of a ministerial level environmental body to tackle the problem.

It is not the first time such a call has been made in recent years. Would it be the cure for the environmental problems troubling the country? Probably not.
