Scientific evidence is increasingly supporting the theory that the Earth is alive and replete with intelligence. In fact, the wild diversity of earthly organisms exhibits the characteristics that human beings attribute to personhood. How is it then, by the law, that a corporation is a person, but nature is not? What if we expand the anthropocentric boundaries of our systems of laws, rights and responsibilities to encompass ALL livi...

Decisions that negatively affect these larger systems and eventually affect us are made without our consent as citizens and, often, without our knowledge.

Plastic pollution is now found in virtually every living organism – including humans – and is one of the worst threats to ocean ecosyst...
