• The notion of “sustainable living” can be a difficult one to pin down, but that doesn’t stop laws, policies, and regulations from being crafted with that idea in mind.  Blaine Early, a former biology professor, of Stites & Harbison PLLC is responsible for updating the Sustainability Law Talk, which looks at the legal ramifications businesses, individuals, and governments face when dealing with the various aspects of sustainability.
