The Right to a healthy Environment:The Right to life, health and all things good.

One thing is crystal clear, everyone loves good things however good things just don’t happen. When they do happen,it's because the laws of motion have been applied to it .Newton was very kind to provide those postulation that has shed light on lots of things. Newton's law of Motion has guided and demystified many seemingly random occurrences as they unravel. Newton is not the subject of discussion but I am just borrowing something from Mr Newton, his laws.

Newton’s first law states that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force. This postulate is known as the law of inertia.

The right to life and good living can be viewed from different angles the lens I am applying is that of the environment. The environment we live in is our own natural habitat where most of our interaction occur .

We practically do everything in our physical environment but unfortunately we do not really love our habitat we maltreat it and misuse it and abuse it.

The basis of environmental policy in Nigeria is contained in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, pursuant to section 20 of the Constitution, the State is empowered to protect and improve the environment and safeguard the water, air and land, forest and wildlife of Nigeria

The environment has not being left orphan but defenders have risen: the knights and ladies of the order of flora and fauna. The enforcers of Newton's Law no 1 will stop the constant abuse of the environment by applying a force.. The force of love, reason, law,policy to protect this fragile victim from its enemies.

The order has different level of membership and hierarchy some lead on the field ,some lead in the creeks and some tell ,document and publish their stories.

Wikipedia documents the exploits of the defender of the environments the heroes and heroines of the cause.
