Will Duckworth (MEP candidate Green Party U.K.): We desparately need to change the mind set of producers: They only pay for the cost of production at the moment. We have to ensure that the polluter pays. The cost of dealing with polution needs to be considdered and the best way is to make the destruction of our environment a chargeable crime as well as a crime against Nature. The Green Party are dedicated to protecting the world we all live in.

Molly Scott Cato (MEP candidate Green Party U.K. Professor of Strategy and Sustainability at the University of Roehampton and UK Green Party’s Economics Spokesperson): To preserve our planet so that it will allow us to live peaceful and happy lives we need to find a way of thinking beyond our selfish human concerns. We need to consider the interests of all the non-human animals who share this home with us, and future generations who will enjoy its bounty in future. The idea of ‘ecocide’, of actually killing the planet, is a powerful metaphor that can help us to put into practice our wish to live softly on the earth and in harmony with its wealth of bountiful life.

Vicky Dunn (MEP candidate Green Party U.K.): I see a law on Ecocide as a mirror image of the TTIP – Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership – but with government and law standing up for the world on which we depend, not the ‘rights’ of corporations.

Sergio Gaetano Cofferati (MEP candidate Socialisti e Democratici): Il livello di benessere nostro e delle future generazioni dipende dal grado di rispetto e dagli strumenti di difesa che oggi riusciamo a mettere in campo a protezione dell´ambiente. Occorre che si diffonda consapevolezza circa il delicato equilibrio tra l´azione dell´uomo e i suoi effetti sulla natura, ma occorrono anche strumenti per contrastare i danni, spesso gravissimi, che l´ambiente subisce.
