Make ECOCIDE a UK criminal offence

[WindsweptEgret]

Please sign and share this petition to make ECOCIDE a UK criminal offence.

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/263605

Climate agreements and civil laws have failed to prevent escalating harm to the Earth. A criminal law of ECOCIDE would criminalise practices known to destroy ecosystems and/or exacerbate climate breakdown. It's the only way to force industry to change direction.

Over 4000 signatures now and it's only been open for a few days! Please sign and share so we can get it to 10000 for a government response as soon as possible.

6687 signatures so far!

Please sign, it should be a criminal offence to knowingly damage our ecosystems.

The laws protecting important ecosystems and preservation areas are sufficiently effective. You do have to balance a desire to protect the environment with actual needs that people have to you know...live.

We have not got that balance right though. We are in the middle of a climate emergency and the sixth mass extinction because the balance has been wrong for some time. We need to fix the balance now.

Down the line people won’t be living if we don’t protect the planets ecosystems
