In this forum we learn about a holistic strategy for legally protecting our drinking water and ecosystems from the growing threat of industrial pollutants drawing from the Rights of Nature Movement. Speakers will argue that today’s environmental laws alone will not protect our world’s ecosystems.

Panelists are Tish O’Dell, Community Organizer with the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF), Jheri Neri, Executive Director of the Greater Cincinnati Native American Coalition, and Susan Vonderhaar and Bill Cahalan of the Citizens for Rights of the Ohio River Watershed (CROW).
