Yes, there is a word for self genocide: suicide.
But I know what you mean, let's make up a new word for it: insulacide (island murder), caespescide (earth murder) or politiacide (murder by policy, I made a ablativus of the word, to get the right meaning).

Or maybe suicide does indirectly fit to the current state the environment is in. Maybe we just don't have a clue yet because no testing has been done.

I mean what do we want in the long run. Is it really only a new government building/racing track/festival village/pier/roundabout/casino/resort? I hope it's not.
Why can't we go green? The EU will help funding the whole project, I'm sure they will!. And wouldn't it be great to have like some responsible people around? Who'd really know what the consequences of a racing track are?
SXM needs to wake up and start investing in green energy. Solar collectors for instance. Just make every resort get some. But I bet that wouldn't get you half as many votes as when you build a festival village, right? Because if it isn't fun or visibly beautiful or whatever, it doesn't matter.
Well, I think it does! You just need to get the media there and use a nice slogan like 'Let's go green and clean!'. Anyway, maybe we should take a little soil or water and send it to the Wageningen Universiteit in the Netherlands. Maybe they're willing to test it for a small price, since our VROM employees all seem be lost in silencio.
