On June 4-7 in Claremont, California, ELC spoke on two rights of nature tracks at the international conference “Seizing an Alternative: Toward an Ecological Civilization." The conference is organized around the idea that there is an alternative to modern industrial life, and that in order to avoid catastrophic conditions we must seize an alternative way of thinking and living. That “alternative” is an ecological worldview. Other speakers include Vandana Shiva, Bill McKibben, Herman Daly and many more.
