Melissa Troutman & Joshua Boaz Pribanic On The Rights of Nature Dec 21, 2020

Show notes

On The Science Revolution this week is Melissa Troutman & Joshua Boaz Pribanic on their new documentary, with Mark Ruffalo, called The Invisible Hand. The Rights of Nature movement captured in INVISIBLE HAND changes Nature’s status from property to living entity. This fixes a fundamental flaw within societies worldwide that contributes to everything from genocide to ecocide. Across the globe, communities are creating new legal systems that grant legal, enforceable rights to Nature, thereby honoring the rights of all people, too. This movie shows when we enact and enforce the Rights of Nature, we restore the sanctity and equanimity of all Life, including human beings.
