Let's start by creating a pathway for action. Let's prevent the situation from becoming too late. One suggestion is to clamor for adopting the Jury system of deciding cases against the environment. This has proven to be effective in other countries.Bribery and other ways to circumvent the cases is almost impossible in a Jury system.

Hello Skip:
Perhaps Tony Oposa, a premiere environmental attorney can comment
on this question.
But it's a good point for law students, scholars and our lawmakers
who are sincere in
changing the environmental laws.
