	Environmental Quality Assessments
		Environmental impact assessments are conducted analytically and do not take into consideration the social perspectives measuring the need for a project, rather it must ultimately rely on subjective judgments of planners.
		The benefit of an environmental improvement is the sum of the monetary values assigned to the effects of that improvement by all individuals directly or indirectly affected by the action.
		The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency defines an environmental indicator as "a characteristic of the environment that, when measured, quantifies the magnitude of stress, habitat, characteristics, degree of exposure to the stressor, or degree of ecological response to the exposure." The EPA defines an environmental index as a mathematical aggregation of indicators or metrics.

	Remarks on Signing the Annual Report of the Council on Environmental Quality
		As the 14th annual report on the Council on Environmental Quality makes clear, we're making solid progress protecting and improving the quality of America's air, land, and water resources.
		We must and will be aware of the need for conservation, conscious of the irreversible harm we can do to our natural heritage, and determined to avoid the waste of our resources and the destruction of the ecological systems on which these precious resources are based.
		As Teddy Roosevelt put it, ``Conservation means development as much as it does protection.'' Quality of life also means a good job, a decent place to live, accommodation for a growing population, and the continued economic and technological development essential to our standard of living, which is the envy of the whole world.
