1. It is anti-scientific to be a humanist
2. It is anti-scientific to not be an environmentalist (i.e. somebody who
ascribes moral subjectship to a collection of non-human entities, including
inanimate, plant and animal ones)
3. For a humanist it is advisable to pay attention to the environment in
order to avoid harming humans

All of the above? Only #3?
