CELDF guest blog: A Conversation with the Guardian
    
 
 
[Excerpt:]
"In fact," we continued, when drafting LEBOR, "we were careful to distinguish between human rights ('personhood') and ecosystem rights.  For humans, LEBOR recognises rights 'to a clean and healthy environment' and to a system of government that protects 'human, civil, and collective rights.'  But for the lake, it recognises different rights:  to 'exist, flouish and naturally evolve' - it does not establish 'personhood.'"

Officials Concerned After Overflowing Injection Well Incident in Coitsville
 
 
 
[Excerpt:]
Local authorities said they never learned about the problem until Sunday night, long after it happened.  One local Hazmat expert worries firefighters would have trouble responding to a well like this if a spill had actually occurred.
 
"We don't know what it is.  It's a mixture of God only knows what they've used to frack these wells.  They're not really forthcoming with that information at the well sites when there is incidents," said Battalion Chief Sil Caggiano."

Big Oil and Gas Spread the 'Big Lie' about Toxic Waste
 
 
An overturned truck carrying brine near Coolville, Ohio 2017.
[Excerpt:]
Among the workers most affected are truck drivers paid to haul away the brine. Often unknowingly, these tanker-truck drivers carry "hot loads" that average around 9,300 picocuries of radium per liter and can run as high as 28,500 picocuries.
 
Radium, which is abundant in brine, is so dangerous it is subject to tight restrictions, even at hazardous-waste sites. Because radium contains the carcinogens radium-226 and radium-228, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires industrial discharge to remain below 60 picoruries per liter of each.
