From Green Festival: Travel to India with Vandana Shiva!
This past weekend, I gave a presentation about Rights of Nature and Global Exchange’s Reality Tour to India November 1-11, 2013. Co-led by Shannon Biggs and Vandana Shiva, participants will have a unique opportunity to learn about rights of nature, seed sovereignty and spend a week with Vandana on her farm. Find out more.
