A Florida woman has gone head to head with a local judge who
has declared her efforts to live off the grid illegal and in violation
of local and international code ordinances.
Robin Speronis, a 54-year-old former real estate agent currently living in Cape Coral in a small duplex, has her own solar panels and collects rain water for
her needs, She has even installed a simple outdoor shower in order to
be independent from the municipal energy and water supply. The local
power company and water supply surely have a hand in the Special
Magistrate Harold S. Eskin’s ruling that, although the regulations for
her city are redundant and unreasonable, she was in violation of city
code as well as the International Property Maintenance Code.
Apparently
generating your own power and using rainwater or other natural elements
is not your sovereign right. Speronis using her own elbow grease to
live more in balance with nature is now part of a heated debate.
