At the bill’s heart was a radical proposition: that the 'Lake Erie ecosystem' should be granted legal personhood." This is the radical new animism "by which writers, scholars, lawyers, and politicians are radically reassessing our place in the natural world." It’s getting dark, but it's not there yet.
