I recently came across another WordPress blog which covered the concept of ecocide, a movement that would make environmental destruction a crime recognized at the international level. Although I’m unsure of how this would be enforced, how well this could be enforced, or how much of a priority this would be to counties compared to other international crimes (such as genocide), I think it’s an incredibly interesting and worthy concept for environmental health. Perhaps this is something that could be successful with a grassroots effort (one example being the grassroots campaign Eradicating Ecocide), or legislation starting at the state and country level before it gains support at the international level.
