Bleak Houses, to be sure

With recent border enforcement projects taking on weird numeric signifiers (such as Project 28), you can forgive us for a little initial confusion about the EPA's new weblaunch: US-Mexico Border 2012 Program. We'll forgive you if you have to spend a long time looking for information on any non-anthropocentric environmental issues; there isn't any. The website is devoted to the legitimate air and water quality issues surrounding the 14 border sister cities. We don't dispute that these are serious issues facing most population centers in the world, we just wish that the website at least listed the harm to humans caused by border itself.

Not to mention the land. And the animals. And the butterflies.

Is mankind now denying butterflies too?
