520    For decades, activists have relied on federal and state 
       legislation to fight for a cleaner environment. And for 
       decades, they've been fighting a losing battle. The sad 
       truth is, our laws are designed to accommodate pollution 
       rather than prevent it. It's no wonder people feel 
       powerless when it comes to preserving the quality of their
       water, air, public parks, and special natural spaces. But 
       there is a solution, argues veteran environmentalist Maya 
       K. van Rossum: bypass the laws and turn to the ultimate 
       authority--our state and federal constitutions. In 2013, 
       van Rossum and her team won a watershed legal victory that
       not only protected Pennsylvania communities from ruthless 
       frackers but affirmed the constitutional right of people 
       in the state to a clean and healthy environment. Following
       this victory, van Rossum inaugurated the Green Amendment 
       movement, dedicated to empowering every American community
       to mobilize for constitutional change.We all have the 
       right to pure water, clean air, and a healthy environment.
       It's time to claim that right--for our own sake and that 
       of future generations.
