Justice

Global climate change results in the widespread loss of human life and vast extinction of wildlife, it brings about massive economic devastation, and endangers the very sources of life on earth. The wealthiest Nations' prized quality of life will suffer significantly from climate change, but the most populous and poorest people of the planet stand to be hurt the most. Since this problem is caused in large part by mankind and the United States is guilty of emitting the most greenhouse gas emissions, our Nation's stubborn refusal to change is becoming blatantly immoral. In fact if the US persists and perpetuates a gluttonous and exorbitant greenhouse gas emitting existence, it will be a crime against humanity potentially more harmful than any other in history. Now more than ever is the time to do what is right by changing our ways and restoring the basic fabric of dignity with our fellow human beings.

This Institute pursues viable paths to justice on this momentous matter and calls for wide-scale restitution;
We collaborate with like minded, integrity-based organizations in the pursuit of restorative justice.
