Quesiton: In chapter two of our required text What Environmentalist Need to Know About Economics the author states that environmentalist should prioritize its goals. The idea is to figure out which goals would yield a high level of benefit relative to the cost. Politicians seems to be guided by benefit and cost. Please read the article America's Real Criminal Element: (see readings above, Mother Jones). Also find article(s) above related to lead including lead in water for the city of Flint(see Democracy Now) .
