Question #79333 on sudo in ubuntu changed:

Kamus posted a new comment:
Dear Mike, extract from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers

Defaults env_reset , resets the terminal environment after switching to root. So, ie: all user set variables are removed. The second (root ALL=(ALL) ALL) just lets root do everything on any machine as any user. And the third (%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL) lets anybody in the admin group run anything as any user. Note that they will still require a password (thus giving you the normal behaviour you are so used 
to), by defaults "/etc/sudoers".
