Description

<p>If you listened to last week's interview w. Jem Bendell and wondered, "What on Earth do I do now?" And you weren't up for moving to Bali and getting collapse ready by starting a self-sufficient permaculture farm...we've got you!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This week's episode is about practical action being taken right now to protect the rights of Nature.</p><br><p>Clare is sitting down with two can-do women, <strong>fashion designer Lucy Tammam</strong> and <strong>Stop Ecocide International's Jojo Mehta</strong> to decode one of <em>the</em> topics of the moment, ecocide law.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You might have noticed this idea gaining momentum. <strong>Ecocide refers to the mass damage and destruction of ecosystems – severe harm to nature which is widespread or long-term.</strong>&nbsp;The idea is to criminalise it. And it's happening! It's become national&nbsp;law&nbsp;in several countries with many more discussing it. In March, the EU passed a law that criminalises actions 'comparable to ecocide' - a revolutionary legal development; the first law of its kind to be adopted by a political entity with substantial global influence.&nbsp;In September, Vanuatu, Fiji and Samoa&nbsp;submitted a proposal to the International Criminal Court&nbsp;for recognition of ecocide as a crime.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What does all this mean for fashion?
