Polly Higgins obituary

What would it take to create a legal duty of care for the Earth? That is the question the Scottish barrister Polly Higgins found herself asking 15 years ago; a question that led her to abandon her courtroom career and embark on a quest to establish an international crime of ecocide. Such a crime would render persons of superior responsibility liable to prosecution for causing or contributing to large-scale ecosystem destruction.

gasgebouw Vale, Polly. Your work for the environment was marvelous. I didn't know '.... she was expelled from St Aloysius, a private Jesuit school in Glasgow, at 16 for punching a teacher, unable to stand by and watch a younger child being violently disciplined.' 😁
