Well, maybe Mother Earth *should* be a legal entity in UK law!
They can’t think beyond a closed system economic model in which nature is an unbounded source of raw material and sink for our waste.
How the fuck do we get to sustainable living in harmony with nature unless we recognise nature’s inalienable needs in law?
"Forest Culture in Relation to Industrial Pursuits", 1 8 7 1
Ferdinand Jacob Heinrich von Mueller on forestry:
"Strange as it may appear, an impression seems to be prevailing in these communities, as if our forests have to serve no other purposes but to provide wood for our immediate and present wants, be it fuel or timber."
"For even after warning of climatic changes, and after the commencing scarcity of wood, no forest administration … has been as yet initiated in any portion of Australia". Wilderness remained "unguarded" and in some places was "already annihilated".
"No statesman, I feel assured, would want to impoverish our woods at the expense of the next generation."

Ecology and more-than-human property
The concept of universal commons as the ‘more-than-human’ property regime for land.
"Law transformed the world into global capitalism. It is time to harness the powers of law to achieve the transition to a world that is home to all living beings, sharing their opportunities for flourishing together.”

There Are No Human Rights Without Indigenous Rights and Nature Rights.
"Biodiversity is the single most important thing in our world. It must be understood that humanity is a part of biodiversity, and that it is our role as intelligent beings with free will to be guardians and protectors of both our own species’ survival, and of all life on Earth – which is key to our own survival."

Inspiring! People like #PaulPowlesland give me hope. It's amazing what Barrister with a sledgehammer can do. His backstory too, from Cambridge educated Tory to off grid guerilla barrister saving the #RiverRoding from the neglect and vandalism of councils, developers and #ThamesWater which refused to monitor is own sewage discharges. So Paul does it instead.
And he lives on a boat, on the river he loves.😃
