This discussion paper examines the training citizen groups need in order to confront a wide variety of industries and types of pollution. Section I of the paper focuses on the interaction of three groups: (1) industry: this group includes distributors of environmental pollutants as well as manufactures of pollution control equipment; (2) government regulators; and (3) citizens. Section II reviews Swedish environmental legislation and the factors that lead to the development of a partnership type relationship between industry and regulators thus creating a need for citizens to act as environmental police. Section III examines the education, training, and information environmental organizations need in order to confront a wide variety of industries. Section IV discusses efforts to educate the public as a "first line of defense," and presents the details of two major information campaigns, one involving opposition to nuclear energy, and the second directed towards environmentally safe energy sources for the future. Section V looks at the knowledge necessary to confront different industries that have different forms and mechanisms of pollution, within a legal context, and provides the technical contents of a licensing board hearing and a court action as an example.
