Law

• Stop Ecocide: International organization that is working to make damaging the earths ecosystems a crime.
  “The rules of our world are laws, and they can be changed. Laws can restrict, or they can enable. What matters is what they serve. Many of the laws in our world serve property – they are based on ownership. But imagine a law that has a higher moral authority… a law that puts people and planet first. Imagine a law that starts from first do no harm, that stops this dangerous game and takes us to a place of safety….” Polly Higgins, 2015, Lawyer and author of Dare to be Great.
  
  “We need to change the rules.” Greta Thunberg, 2019
