An Ohio city will vote on whether Lake Erie has the same rights as a person (via WTVA)

Voters in Toledo, Ohio, will decide next week whether to give Lake Erie the kind of rights usually granted to a person.
The Lake Erie Bill of Rights, a ballot initiative in Tuesday's special election, would establish "irrevocable rights for the Lake Erie Ecosystem to exist, flourish and naturally evolve" and "a right to a healthy environment for the residents of Toledo."
