Colleagues-

I write to share news about a successful community-led effort in Pennsylvania to push back against construction of an injection well designed as a fracking water waste disposal site, highlighting the importance of using home rule charters to protect the local environment. You can read the article here.

In a related development, a Florida House Bill (HB 1343) on environmental resource management includes a provision that would ban rights of nature laws at the municipal level.

Lots of action on environmental rights at the subnational level here in the US.

Best,

Josh

(with Chris Jeffords)
