Good morning, welcome to Radioactivity. I'm Rob Lorei. Coming up we'll speak with Patricia Siemen who is a Dominican Sister from Adrian, Michigan, and an attorney. She currently serves as the director of the Center for Earth Jurisprudence, Barry University School of Law. She'll be talking about the concept of "earth jurisprudence" tomorrow in Tampa. It's a concept that recognizes the intrinsic value and right of nature to exist. She joins us live now and she'll be giving a talk tomorrow at the Unity Church in South Tampa 10AM. FMI
