  "BP has gotten away with this, the government has helped them get away with it, we can't even get cooperation from the government to test the carcasses of dead mammals washing up on the shore because they're joined at the hip with BP," says Mike Papantonio, radio host and attorney representing Gulf Coast residents.

• Shannon Biggs & Maude Barlow: Recognizing the Rights of Nature

  April 20, 2011

  "The real issue here is that modern humanity looks at nature as a great big resource for our pleasure, profit and convenience, and we do whatever we want with it. We're in trouble," says Maude Barlow of our current relationship with the our natural world. She and Shannon Biggs have spearheaded the discussion over the legal rights of nature, a discussion that has gone all the way to United Nations, where arguments are now being heard.
