Destruction of the environment creates a huge threat for the whole humanity.

It's appalling that suggesting to treat it as a crime it is considered "radical".

If it’s a crime, it is a crime of which we are all guilty.

Have you heard of the concept of anarcho-tyranny? When everyone is guilty of a crime, always, then prosecutorial discretion becomes absolute power.
