Aggression to the environment Explanation: You could also say attack (if deliberate) or damage (if undesired) to the environment, but I prefer aggression. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-02 15:03:48 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For example, an oil spill in an oilfield is always undesired, but causes DAMAGE. In most cases, damage would be the word. However, when we talk of felling trees in a forest, the attack is conscious, but economic considerations prevail. I believe the word aggression has been used on purpose, to mean that the environment is being attacked or damaged. Other possible translations are blow / stroke / assault (to the environment). BLOW is another good alternative. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-02 15:06:33 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Regarding your Goggle search, if you change the wording to \"aggression to the environment\" you will find answers.
