February 4, 2011
The Center for Earth Jurisprudence presented “Water Justice for All,” the second annual Future Generations Conference, on Friday, February 4, 2011, at the Barry University School of Law in Orlando. The keynote speaker was Maude Barlow, chair of the board of Washington-based Food and Water Watch and former senior advisor on water to the president of the United Nations General Assembly. The conference also featured Jennifer Greene, M.Ed., who discussed the life-giving resource and practical ways of managing it; Sister Patricia Siemen, Esq., who explored a developing water ethic that can enhance current water policies; and other state and local experts who discussed Florida’s waters and the larger implications of topics such as the impacts of various rules governing Florida’s waters.
