Senior Eric Kuhn interviewed Trip Van Noppen, president of Earthjustice, recently and wrote a summary of their conversation for The Huffington Post. Earthjustice is one of the largest non-profit public interest law firms "dedicated to protecting the magnificent places, natural resources, and wildlife of this earth, and to defending the right of all people to a healthy environment." As President Elect Barack Obama heads towards the White House, Kuhn asked Van Noppen about his hopes for the environment under a new president, the environmental success and failures of the Bush administration and the role Earthjustice plays in being the "earth's lawyer."
In President of Earthjustice on Being the Earth's Lawyer Under Obama, Noppen urged public engagement in the environmental issues facing us. "It's critical that people let their senators and congressmen hear their views on the environment-healing initiatives we hope to see out of Washington soon. … It will be important for the public to speak up and weigh in."
