International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict in 2021

Today is International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict. A reminder that war in and of itself *is* exploitation of the environment, and that the climate crisis is also violence. https://t.co/2cYFtoIE3c

Agent Orange used in Vietnam was one of the worst examples of exploitation of the environment in war and armed conflict. My father was one of more than 400k US soldiers killed or maimed by Agent Orange. 1/ https://t.co/t15kSpzCBp
