In tonight's EcoJustice diary I'd like to present an idea that has been going around my head since it became clear that the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe wasn't "just" another oil spill:
If we are looking to achieve true and lasting environmental justice and restoration, it would behoove us to set up something along the lines of an ecological Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the Gulf.
Unlike any other TRC ever attempted, it would be the first of its kind to represent non-human victims, such as fish and birds killed and defiled by swaths of crude oil.
The thoughts behind the idea below the fold.
