Celebrating the Earth

As part of the environmental action committee’s Earth Day celebration, they are pleased to have a major Climate Action attorney as a speaker on April 14 in Gathering room from 2:00-4:00 pm.

Tony Oposa, the lawyer who established the rights of children and future generations to inherit a healthy environment, will speak about his fight to protect the Philippines’ natural patrimony.

This globally celebrated award winner, activist, teacher, and author won landmark cases to protect the country’s remaining virgin tropical forests and to clean up Manila Bay. As an enforcement operative, he organized and led some of the most daring enforcement operations against environmental criminals. He leads a movement to safeguard the high seas as marine reservations for future generations. Oposa calls upon each of us to be a good story for caring for Life.

Thanks to Nick Robinson, Oposa takes timeout from his visit to Pace University to share an inspirational Earth Month message with us here at Kendal on Hudson.
