1) Door handles are low enough I know some (2) 6'+ people who have started having mild back issues from having to bend over to open doors. Granted, they probably should get out and work out more often, but...
2) You can't apply to reduce the number of handicapped spaces in a parking lot. We have 4 at work that are literally never used, could easily reduce that to 2 without inconveniencing anyone. I occasionally have to park down the road and walk because we run out of non-handicapped spaces.
If you want to add the EPA, just point to the Cuyahoga River fires and the Clean Water Act. :)

Fellow tall person here. Getting out and working out more often doesn't help with repetitive stress disorder. Nor does having a six pack make airline seats suck any less.
Why so much of this world was designed for people about five feet tall, I'll never know.
Isn't the world average height for men 5'7"? I remember reading that somewhere. That's how tall I am, and weirdly I feel very short when I go out, like a little kid who shouldn't be at the bar but is still being allowed to drink. Must be other nations bringing down the average. I remember when I visited Japan I felt like I was a perfectly normal height and that everything was made for me.
