Ecosystems in the Courtroom: Crafting Metaphors for Environmental Law

✨ Writing Prompt

Imagine you are a legal advocate representing a non-profit organization focused on environmental protection. Your task is to write a section of a legal brief that argues for stronger regulations on plastic waste management. Use metaphors related to ecosystems to illustrate the impact of plastic pollution on biodiversity and human health. For example, compare the flow of plastic in rivers to a disease spreading through an ecosystem. Aim to create vivid and compelling imagery that reinforces your argument and resonates with a judge who may not be familiar with ecological concepts.
