This month’s interview on “Glen’s Parallax Perspectives” will give us a fresh perspective – and propose a fresh solution – for some environmental problems that are serious but are not being solved by conventional methods.
In the U.S., Latin America, and elsewhere, a movement is growing to recognize legal rights for nature. Very often, when people want to protect the environment by filing an appeal in a governmental hearing or in a court, the environmentalists’ case is dismissed because – even though the environment is being hurt, those individuals themselves were not hurt by the damage to the environment, so their case is dismissed because those individuals lack legal “standing.” If we recognize legal rights for the environment – a river, a forest, or an ecosystem – that entity would have legal “standing” and could protect its interests in court.
