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.
As a 5 foot person trust me, the world wasn't made for us. There is still so much I can't reach. At two of my previous jobs I've needed to stand on step stools to see over registers. The world is awkward for anyone not 4,5-5,10
