How does one even put a direct financial value on clean water, clean air, lack of noise pollution, etc.?

These things have different values to different people. While most everyone wants them in some form, there is a huge spectrum between “it won’t kill me this month” and “living in pristine Mt. Fuji”.

Should private companies be allowed to pollute sparse remote areas with no population?

Does it have a financial value if nobody goes there?

I mean — valuing things is not always that hard: how much are you willing to take to go without?
