I know I just recently asked about this, but I'm still sort of confused.
I think the best way to ask this would be by giving a specific example.
One major issue for birds of prey is lead poisioning, which occurs from hunters using led ammo. How would issues like this be regulated an taken care of under anarchy?
Basically what I've heard so far is "isolate them from resources" or something along those lines. But how do you decide when it's appropriate to do something like that? What if someone or some group is/are committing serious crimes against the environment but the majority don't recognize it's harm and don't want to isolate the offenders? I mean how do you even decide what sufficient environmental harm is before action needs to be taken? How do you create environmental laws democratically if not everyone has a clear understanding of what constitutes environmental harm?
And yes, I know, there'd be less incentive to do such harm. But all of our environmental issues aren't just going to magically disappear because we eliminated capitalism.
Do any anarchists have a solution to this?
