Ecocide are activities that substantially damage or destroy ecosystems, or that harm the health and well-being of a species, including humans. Only a few nations have codified ecocide as a crime.
Examples
| Page name | Description |
|---|---|
| Deepwater Horizon | An ecologically disastrous oil spill |
| Depleted uranium | Depleted uranium is a toxic substance that better had been prohibited by international treaties decades ago, but American generals don't want to give up this capability. |
| Fashion industry | |
| Glyphosate | A herbicide heavily promoted by Monsanto, increasingly being agreed to be a carcinogen. |
| Superfund sites | |
| Water/Fluoridation | Marketed as an anti-tooth decay improvement, there is increasing evidence that the fluoridation of water may have a range of deleterious effects upon the brain (e.g. lowering IQ) and may actually not have much affect on tooth decay. The academic community was for a long time extremely hostile to anyone who challenged this practice. |
