For anyone doing research on how changing technology might impact the way we look at environmental problems, Dan Esty from the Yale School of Forestry and the Yale Law School has a piece in the N.Y.U. Law Review on how information technology will change environmental regulation.

Most of his piece focusses on improving government regulation of environmental issues, but much of the material can be used to illustrate the coming opportunities for increased environmental stewardship through common law protection of property rights.
