If environmental protection is declared as religious, It cannot be limited or violated.

Freedom of environment\religion? Good.

@jehova I think I see your point. I regard the Gaia hypothesis rather romantic but not itself religious, as I define a religion as a belief in a super- or supra- natural deity, or set of deities. Gaia does not call for that although it might fit neatly with some religious views.

The President's approach seems simply based on commerce over-riding anything and everything else.

@ArishMell agree but my religious belief is that earth created life. Therefore gaia
(god) is earth. Did earth have a creator? Science helps me understand its\our existence.
As such for me earth and finding symbiosis is a religious pursuit\is my religion. Earth is super-natural to me so too is science.
Does everyones' definition have to be the same?
The most human response seems to be, "Hey wanna fight about it!?"

@jehova No, I'm not trying to pick a fight with you! :-) (Others might though.)

I was interested in how you see it all.

@ArishMell I dont actually wanna fight about it. Good talk. My point is that people tend to resort to violence on this topic. I believe in symbiosis; thus it can and must be a conversation toward balance.
Thanks again.
