For environmental policies, benefits are determined by what individuals would be willing to pay for risk reductions or for other improvements from pollution prevention. Costs are determined by the dollar value of the resources directed to pollution reduction. If the total benefits exceed the total costs, then the policy is said to "pass a benefit-cost test.”" -- from the website, 1/26/2017

Description: "Buffalo, like most cities, faces a wide range of challenges in protecting and restoring the quality of the air, water, land, flora and fauna on which healthy lives for residents depend. These challenges include reducing traffic congestion, improving air quality, conserving energy, responding to impacts of global warming, reclaiming polluted industrial lands, improving sanitary sewage handling, cleaning up toxic Buffalo River sediments, preserving wildlife habitat, and many others ... In the face of such a daunting agenda, the city is fortunate to have both strong political leadership and active citizens engaged in this work. Organized environmentalists have helped identify the city’s problems, inventory its assets and shape the environmental agenda. Political leaders have explicitly acknowledged the City’s obligation to lead the work for environmental improvement. " -- from the website, 5/22/2016
