It's difficult to put a price on the environment, and some scientists even argue it's beside the point: that nature has intrinsic value, beyond the services it provides to us.

But in some situations, it helps to try to put it in economic terms: especially when those are the terms the world's wealthiest are used to dealing in.

And then reduce taxes on the rest. By the way, it probably shouldn't be an arbitrary amount like $10 mil but should be a multiplier of whatever the poverty level is designated as, like 100:1 or 1,000:1 or something. That way it can scale with inflation/deflation.
