What Citizen Suits Do
->Vatandaş Davaları Ne Yapar?
or "Vatandaş Davalarının İşlevi" - but the original is a question, so we can keep as "Vatandaş Davaları Ne İşe Yarar?" - but let's keep it simple: "Vatandaş Davaları Ne Yapar?" - that's literal. But in Turkish, we might say "Vatandaş Davaları Neler Yapar?" - but I'll use "Vatandaş Davalarının Rolü" - but the original is a heading, so we can translate as "Vatandaş Davaları Ne Yapar?" - that's fine. Then paragraph:Citizen suits are a long-standing tool that lets private individuals and advocacy groups sue polluters when the government fails to act. They've been used to force cleanup of contaminated sites, stop illegal emissions, and hold companies accountable under laws like the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act.
Translation:Vatandaş davaları, hükümet harekete geçmediğinde özel kişilerin ve savunuculuk gruplarının kirleticilere dava açmasına olanak tanıyan köklü bir araçtır. Bu davalar, kirlenmiş alanların temizlenmesini sağlamak, yasadışı emisyonları durdurmak ve Temiz Su Yasası ile Temiz Hava Yasası gibi yasalar kapsamında şirketleri sorumlu tutmak için kullanılmıştır.
Note: "Clean Water Act" and "Clean Air Act" are proper nouns, we can keep them in English or translate? Usually they are translated as "Temiz Su Yasası" and "Temiz Hava Yasası" but sometimes kept as "Clean Water Act" - but since it's a proper name, we can keep in English, but for Turkish readers, it might be better to translate. However, the requirement says "Keep proper nouns (names, company names) in original form" - but these are laws, not names. It says "proper nouns (names, company names)" - so laws might be translated. But to be safe, we can keep them in English with parentheses? Actually in Turkish media, they often say "Clean Water Act" as is. But we can translate as "Temiz Su Yasası" and "Temiz Hava Yasası" - that's acceptable. I'll translate. Next paragraph:Supporters say these lawsuits fill a critical gap. Without them, a company could pollute for years while regulators drag their feet. But opponents argue the suits are often abusive, driven by lawyers looking for fees rather than genuine environmental harm.
Translation:Destekçiler, bu davaların kritik bir boşluğu doldurduğunu söylüyor. Onlar olmadan, bir şirket düzenleyiciler ayak sürürken yıllarca kirletebilir. Anc
