Happy Mother Earth Day, Citizen! Posted by Luke Morris on 4/22, 9:32am | ||
"The proposed UN treaty will recognize the Earth as a living entity that humans have sought to "dominate and exploit." To prevent this exploitation, the draft treaty will "[grant] the Earth a series of specific rights that include rights to life, water and clear air; the right to repair livelihoods affected by human activities, and the right to be free from pollution."[4] In case it is not clear, let me stress that the treaty will recognize that the Earth has these rights — not you or me, citizen, but that big ball of minerals we are standing on." | ||
