Jeff MacIntyre provides some background on the idea:

Colbert feels the market that commodifies animals should also reward them. His proposal: What if one per cent of every media-buy dollar was given to a conservation organization?

If nature is our host, and we are her parasite, than taxing ourselves for (ab)using her can only slow down our pointless rage. We invade her, we don't own her, but we consume her.
