013: Linda Sheehan

This week, we enter the strange, somewhat seemingly autonomous Zone with Linda Sheehan, Executive Director of Environment Now. Prior to her work at Environment Now, she was the co-founder and Executive Director of Earth Law Center, Senior Council for the Leonardo Dicaprio Foundation, and an independent consultant to California State agencies and national non-profits. She’s worked over 20 years in the arena of “Rights of Nature,” and we discuss that work and its impact on Earth, Earthlings and future space-farers before we hear about Linda’s Earth-altering alien object.
