What does the National Environmental Policy Act of 1967 promote?

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, not 1967, primarily promotes the enhancement of the environment by establishing a framework for environmental protection. Its main purpose is to ensure that federal agencies assess the environmental effects of their proposed actions before making decisions. NEPA requires detailed statements known as Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) that analyze potential environmental impacts and alternatives to proposed projects. This process encourages federal agencies to consider environmental values and public involvement in decision-making, ultimately promoting the sustainability and protection of the environment.

The other options do not align with NEPA's objectives. Enhancing the economy, protecting individual property rights, and reducing corporate taxes are not the primary focus of this act, which is fundamentally about environmental stewardship and ensuring that government actions do not adversely affect natural landscapes and ecosystems.
