The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) earned front-page coverage after it was revealed that the government agency has lowered its official estimate of life's value!
Leave it to EPA to devalue the worth of a human life. I guess that inflation missed having an impact on our human worth. And really...is this how we want to make our environmental decisions? How do you factor in the costs of a compromised life because of the increasingly toxic environment in which we live? The EPA has a mandate to protect the public health and yet continues to play a numerical shell game with our lives.
