Thomas Linzey: As founder of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund, Thomas Linzey has advised communities throughout the United States on how to assert their right to local self-government and the rights of nature. Most recently, he was the legal advisor to the City of Pittsburgh as it combated the practice of natural gas fracking, which spreads natural gas and fracking chemicals into the ground water. The resulting ordinance bans fracking, denies legal personhood to corporations seeking to engage in fracking, and acknowledges the rights of nature.
