WORLD LAW: THE BEST WAY TO SAVE OUR NATURAL RESOURCES

Without law, we cannot keep down the rate of murder and other crimes within any nation.
Let’s face it: Without world law, we cannot suppress armed attacks by people of a nation on people of another nation (war) and other destruction, such as permanent reduction of natural resources, including soil, drinking water and forests.
Permanent reduction is already taking a toll. Three-fourths of our world population suffers from inadequate food and drink. To save humanity, we must accomplish rapid reform.
Exploiters of natural resources are wiping out natural resources in all nations, thereby jeopardizing the survival of humans.
Examples include our tropical forests, where 2/3 of the species of life on earth dwell. Timber companies are logging the trees. Corn growers are slashing and burning the vegetation about once every three years. Humans are cutting new openings for new roads and towns. Governments are letting people ruin the forests.
People all over the world need the tropical forests for timber, medicines, and certain foods and supplies. Nations and free trade associations are doing little to conserve tropical forests and other natural resources.
The best way to save the forests is to form a democratic world government with authority to conserve natural resources.
World government environmental staffers would be more likely to conserve our natural resources than are national government staffers such as those of the U.S. Forest Service, who serve not only the Congress elected by Big Timber dollars, but also the timber buyers who buy logs from Forest Service staffers year after year.
In addition to conservation, war is—as in Vietnam War—destructive to forests and other natural resources, only way to prevent war is to establish world law against armed forces and weapon of mass destruction. Therefore, environmentalists should join and support the movement for world law, particularly World Federalist Association.
Without world law, humans are heading for extinction, not only by destroying nations with weapons of mass destruction, but also by exploiting our natural resources.
