Laws and Legacy, by Future Ancestors
“The rules of our world are laws, and they can be changed.
Laws can restrict or they can enable.
What matters is what they serve.
Many of the laws in our world serve property
- they are based on ownership.
But imagine a law that has a higher moral authority…
a law that puts people and planet first.
Imagine a law that starts from ‘First do no harm’,
that stops this dangerous game and takes us to a place of safety….”
Polly Higgins, 2015
“We need to change the rules.” Greta Thunberg, 2019
Future Ancestors
Let ours be a time remembered for the awakening of a new reverence for life, for the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, for the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace, and the joyful celebration of life.
Possa la nostra epoca essere ricordata
per il risveglio di una nuova riverenza per la vita,
per la risolutezza nel raggiungere la sostenibilità,
per l’accelerazione della lotta per la giustizia e la pace,
e per la gioiosa celebrazione della vita.
