News: Rights of nature law to be tested in Florida court on Fox 13-5/25/2021
Fox 13 Tampa aired a news piece this week during its prime news hours on the rights of movement within Orange County, FL. News anchor Jordan Bowen mentioned the recent rights of nature law that was passed in November, which has made room and allowed Chuck O’Neal to step up and act on behalf of nature to seek its protection. Steve Meyers is serving as the plaintiff attorney, and mentions that “people should have the right to sue to protect their waterways”. Chuck O’Neal expounds on the reasoning for this action as a tool to preserve groundwater and ultimately protect the community from corporate polluters.
