The environment might benefit from recent changes in legislation that consolidate a number of environmental crimes into the reformed Penal Code. Using explosives or pouring pesticide into a river and waiting downstream to scoop out the floating carcasses of fish will get you up to four years in jail. Land developers who do not comply with the environmental impact studies required for a project are also in the sights of the law. Unless such a study permits it, the total or partial removal of vegetation cover or trees can result in fines and two to four years behind bars. Storing toxic or radioactive substances and explosives without the necessary precautions will be punished with three to five years of incarceration. Where will vendors put all the fireworks that are the hallmark of any celebration in the country?
