Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio - Corporations have legal personhood - should the same apply to rivers, lakes, and land?

9:00 - 10:00 am
The Earth Law Center is advancing the legal doctrine that nature itself has rights worthy of protection in our legal system. ELC attorney Grant Wilson will be speaking at Vermont Law School this Friday, 12:45 - 2:00 pm, and he'll give us an overview of how rights for nature are surprisingly already somewhat established in law, and what could be gained by expanding recognition of nature's rights.

Berlin Selectboard member Jeremy Hansen has led a successful effort to establish a new, locally owned Central Vermont Internet communication district that 12 towns and cities voted to join on Town Meeting Day. One of the attractions of CVI was that it could promise net neutrality to its users, regardless of what federal regulations say. He'll explain what's people can expect from local broadband, and we'll talk about the state of Vermont's new incorporation of net neutrality into its procurement requirements, and what that means for the rest of us.
