Environmental law encompasses, actually or potentially, everything that may ever be encompassed by law in general. With the boundary between human and environmental/natural collapsed, environmental law is left in a limbo of indifference and allinclusiveness. To start with the bravado of the type ‘environmental law does not exist’ is not a denial of the existing body of legislature and jurisprudence that deals with environmental causes. Environmental law is potentially the only law that in the current conditions remains ‘relevant’ – a relevance not only because of its close connection to the survival of the human species but also because of such issues as quality of life, health, poverty, gender equality, intra-personal relations, urban development and international commerce. Environmental law does the best it can in order to manage, to control its environment. Social systems such as law and politics, do not consist of human beings and their actions, but of anonymous, mechanical processes that lie beyond the control of humans.
