Meet my friend and fellow lawyer, Mike Foote. Mike is a former DA and former legislator, now law firm founder and environmental activist. His firm specializes in "enviro law" and in my dealings with him in cycling law and law writing and learning more about climate crisis, oil and gas and the challenges we face here in CO and nationwide, I've learned a lot more about what environmental law means and stands for- and why we all need to know more about it and pay attention to this area of law and activism. I hope you'll learn a lot from this episode and be inspired by Mike's approach to working for something he believes in, with a focus on making a difference and keeping Colorado amazing.
