Environmentalist and Environmental Regulator

The Differences Between a Environmentalist and an Environmental Regulator
The degrees of power and authority are the characteristics that best describe the differences of an environmental regulator and an environmentalist. Authority is a term, often used in implementation of law, which explains a position of a person that has responsibility and obligations in maintaining a standard. Power is a term to explain influence and ability. With varying degrees of power and authority, both an environmentalist and an environmental regulator provide important functions. Certainly, one person can play both roles; however, defining the roles is critical when a person is charged with the power and authority of regulating the environment (the environmental regulator). This essay will qualitatively explain the difference of an environmental regulator and an environmentalist
An environmentalist can do anything in his or her power to advocate and act as a steward to the natural environment; as history would show, this role does not necessarily require the means of abiding by the law. The intrinsic authority of an environmentalist is to maintain a just philosophy. This philosophy is carried out through the means of right actions and thought; these means are oriented towards managing consumption and waste for the ends of a healthier ecosystem.
The quality of this end is manifested through the power of the environmentalist to manage him or herself and influence other people. So, an environmentalist has power and authority over him- or her-self to maintain a standard of environmental stewardship and advocacy.
An environmental regulator can do only those activities that are in his or her power and authority; most importantly, the authority is delegated to him or her by the legislature, executive body, and maintained by the judiciary. This authority is outlined in laws or statutes and bureaucratic interpretation of laws—rules.
The power of an environmental regulator is over any action, as cited in law, which impacts the natural environment; the means of influence and ability are also designated by law and rules.
An environmental regulator has the power and authority over him- or her-self and the public to maintain a standard of environmental stewardship and advocacy.
As mentioned before, one person can satisfy both roles as an environmentalist and an environmental regulator. However, if and when an environmentalist/environmental regulator is asserting his or her influence and abilities on to the public he or she is charged with the authority to maintain the law; and if the public is receptive then the environmental regulator may advocate environmental stewardship practices.
