Monday, 9 November, 2009

In this Questions With episode, we hear from Rafa Cancel of the organization La Asociación Nacional de Derecho Ambiental (ANDA). After witnessing the activism against the US Navy's use of the island of Vieques as bomb training site, Rafa was inspired to provide the people of Puerto Rico with the legal tools to protect their environment. His organization is the first environmental law center in Puerto Rico, connecting residents with the resources and people to legally engage businesses and government.Rafa is also a 2008 Echoing Green fellow. Echoing Green "invests in and supports outstanding emerging social entrepreneurs to launch new organizations that deliver bold, high-impact solutions."
