“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

It would be interesting to outlaw gas stations and just see what happens.

What are a couple examples of industrial scale harms that are now legal and regulated in the United States that you would like to criminalize?

Don't we already have laws against polluting and people in jail for violating those laws? In any case, what's your plan to keep China, India, and other developing countries from continuing to pollute?

Greedy humans cause #ClimateChange .They don't care about destruction of our #environment or extinction of species. Taking away all their money is more of a deterrent than prison. #ClimateChangeIsReal "Earth Aina" is my love song for Mother Earth. youtube.com/R521eOfKQHo

I agree. How will you overcome the legal bribery system of our congress so you can do that, all by yourself?

As soon as ecocide becomes a crime I’m going to prison for domestic violence against my houseplants.
