I hate to disappoint you, bunky, but the "environment" is property.
My lungs are property. If some one injures them, I have a tort. I don't even need legislation.
I'd rather not have my lungs injured in the first place.
My land, and that of others, is property, if someone pollutes it, I have a tort. If someone upstream pollutes a river running through my land, I have a tort.
Same deal. I'd rather it not be polluted in the first place. And how do I sue some one if there is no judicial system or government to enforce the decision. "Joe's International House of Justice" ?
