“The arrogance of the human race – that we can continue to exhaust the planet that gives us life while avoiding any adverse consequences to our own survival – lies at the base of our current tragedy. The belief that endless economic growth is not only possible, but necessary for our daily lives, serves at the underlying platform for the legal and economic systems that are driving the world off the cliff.”
Brief commentary by Community Rights US media team member Curt Hubatch: From Community Rights Paper #14 titled: “A Broken Planet: Time to Reverse Course’ (2018). We at Community Rights US invite you the reader to go beyond this clarifying quote and check out the rest of the Community Rights papers that have been recently published in book form by the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF). There is 15 papers in total. We think this new and fresh publication is as good place as any to start when it comes to understanding the basics of the Community Rights strategy and movement.
