We should transition from regulating industrial-scale harm to the earth to criminalizing industrial-scale harm to the earth. It’s time to outlaw ecocide.

“Serious harm to the Earth IS preventable: when govt ministers can no longer issue permits for it, insurers can no longer underwrite it, investors can no longer back it & CEOs can be held criminally responsible for it, the harm will stop.” JOJO MEHTA Ecological Defence Integrity

Its a very revealing exercise to look at what we criminalise and what we reward - in terms of our values as a society/economy. And then look at where that has got us to.
