Envirocide 

The human activity of destroying or causing irreparable damage to entire natural ecosystems over extremely large areas, typically in the interests of economic gain, or occassionally, for military purposes.

Justin: "Whoa! Did you see where Canada is committing total ENVIROCIDE all around Alberta's Athabasca Oilsands?"

Brittany: "Yeah, like, you can see the effects from space, like, on Google Earth. The area's the size of, like, all of Florida!"

enviroid 

A portmanteau of "environmentalist" and "hemorrhoid," an enviroid is a self-appointed savior for the planet whose humorless criticisms of others lifestyle choices make them a pain in the ass.

Dave came up to me at the party last night and gave me a bunch of crap for driving a mile to get here instead of walking in the summer heat; then he got really salty because I drive an SUV. What an enviroid!

Enviroscience

A meta‑scientific field that studies the environment of science—the external conditions, contexts, and systems that surround and shape scientific practice. Enviroscience examines the economic, political, social, and technological environments in which science operates: funding structures, regulatory frameworks, public perception, media representation, and the physical infrastructure of laboratories and field stations. It also investigates what is external to science: non‑scientific knowledge systems, the natural world that science studies, and the boundary work that separates science from non‑science. Enviroscience treats science as an organism embedded in an environment, not a self‑contained system.

Example: “Her enviroscience research examined how changes in patent law altered the environment of academic biology—not by changing methods, but by changing incentives and collaborations.”
