CELDF’s Ben Price, Trailblazer in the Rights of Nature Movement, on His New Book, “Wouldn’t You Say: A Collection of Essays About Environment and Community”

On this special Earth Day episode of The Signal, we welcome Ben Price, education director at the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, where he has worked at since 2004. Ben is a trailblazer in the Rights of Nature movement and has a new book out: Wouldn’t You Say? A Collection of Essays About Environment and Community. 

In this conversation, we discuss his book and how the rights of nature movement challenges us to rethink our relationship with the natural world while calling us to expand our political imaginations to not just dream of what a sustainable, just world looks like – but how each of us can work in our own communities to make that dream a reality.
