Youth Climate Advocacy: Training to Speak at Commission Hearings
Rights of Nature Webinar
A historical charter amendment that will grant rights to nature is on the ballot in Orange County. The aim of this amendment is to balance environmental and development interests within the greater Orlando area.
In this webinar, you will hear from Chuck O’Neal, Chairman of the Florida Rights of Nature Network, and Nicole Wilson, Orange County Commissioner-elect about what lead to this amendment being placed on the ballot, and what its success or failure could mean for the relationship between humans and the natural environment.
Mark Ruffalo And Public Herald Present: Invisible Hand: World’s First Documentary On The Rights Of Nature
Mark Ruffalo narrates a new documentary that critics call a “paradigm-shifting” story about the global battle between Nature and society. Ruffalo has spent years as a water defender and environmental advocate. “More and more, we are waking up to the fact that the world around us is being poisoned,” Ruffalo said. “The water, air, and land have become toxic dumps, and the law is rigged against us.”
