Joy LaClaire has been recording the daily proceedings of the Montana Supreme Court trial in the case of Held vs. the State of Montana, a case brought against the state by sixteen young residents of Montana. They argue that the state’s support of the fossil fuel industry has played a decisive role in exacerbating the effects of climate change and its impact on the plaintiffs’ lives, thus denying their right to a “clean and healthful environment” as required by the Constitution of Montana. Each day, Joy produces a digest of highlights from the day’s proceedings in the trial for her Ecotones program. You can hear the digests daily on KGVM, or you can listen to the programs any time under Ecotones.
