On this day when we celebrate a declaration of independence that centered around the revolutionary idea of inalienable human rights, we turn to a film released by the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF), in collaboration with Tree Media:
CELDF executive director Thomas Linzey expands on these ideas in an appropriately urgent op-ed, excerpted below, in which he proposes a Liberation Ecology that would be rooted in the inalienable rights of local communities. Images, added by DP, are from the gallery of Mark Dion.
