There, shockingly, along the grassy bayou bank, I can now make out a dozen or so old tombs, all in different stages of submersion, tumbling brick by brick into the bayou water . . . .

Soil is the foundation of life, yet the international community has all but ignored it in conservation efforts and legal reforms. Right under our feet we are losing topsoil at rates that far outpace nature's ability to keep up. Erosion, salinization, desertification, nutrient depletion, contamination-- these and other threats have conspired to take... |

The atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases--chiefly carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide--are rising due to human activity. As their concentrations increase, the gases trap more solar heat, causing a gradual warming of the earth's climate system. Absent a change in policy, experts project that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions will... |

What was intriguing about this slogan was that it was a call for green jobs, but the term green collar is not new. As early as 1976, Professor Patrick... |

HOLY WATER AND HUMAN RIGHTS: IndigenOUS PEOPLES' RELIGIOUS-RIGHTS CLAIMS TO WATER RESOURCES |

Water, perhaps more than any other natural resource, has profound religious meaning: in ceremonial uses, as a spiritual symbol, and as an object of worship. The scarcity of legal scholarship regarding the nexus between religious rights and water law is therefore curious. This paper examines that nexus and its implications in the context of... |
