Greenpeace Announces War on Antibiotics to Save Bacteria

Greenpeace has announced it will advocate for the protection of all species on earth, including disease-causing, pathogenic bacteria. In the environmentalist organization's official statement it reads: "Humans must respect the other species on earth, some of which have been here long before we have." According to Greenpeace, the world's bacteria and viruses continue to suffer at the hands of human-made anti-septic solutions, antibiotics, and other medicines. "Billions of bacteria die each day because of human actions," reads in the statement. "Please help us stop this massacre by eradicating antibiotics, disinfection, and general hygiene. We must preserve our environment and the natural order of the universe. Do not play God and do not attempt to change Nature." Already human action has brought to the brink of extinction unique species like Variola major, the virus responsible for smallpox. Greenpeace hopes its efforts will help preserve species of disease-causing bacteria and viruses for future generations.
