Greta Thunberg says that ‘We cannot save the planet by playing by the rules, so the rules have to be changed’.  This is self-evidently true, but that leaves us with the question of what rules could we create that we could all live by. Polly Higgins has the Earth Protector law, but Shelley Ostroff has gone one step further with her Codes for a Healthy Earth and the World Water law.  Together, these rules spell out our connection with the More than Human world, and leave us with agency, initiative, and a sense of genuine flourishing.
