In this episode of From Stardust to Us, we speak with Tony Zelle, an Earth lawyer, author, and visionary, about the emergence of Earth Law: a transformative legal philosophy rooted in gratitude, reverence, and justice for the entire Earth community. Tony invites us to reimagine our legal systems through the lens of ecological interdependence, Indigenous wisdom, and spiritual presence. Together, we explore the limitations of current environmental law, the promise of the Rights of Nature, and the possibility of a new ecological social contract that honors both the human and more-than-human world.
