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. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Environmental protection|zUnited States|xCitizen participation.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2008119798 650 0 Environmentalism|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2007004672 650 0 Environmental policy|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008103047 650 0 Human ecology.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85062856 650 7 Environmental protection.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/913324 650 7 Political participation.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1069386 650 7 Environmentalism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 913543 650 7 Environmental policy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 913250 650 7 Human ecology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/962941 650 7 Environmental protection|xCitizen participation.|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/913332 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Ruffalo, Mark,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2001058884|ewriter of foreword. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aVan Rossum, Maya K.|tGreen amendment. |bFirst edition.|dAustin, TX : Disruption Books, [2017] |z9781633310216|w(OCoLC)1012493177 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2182654|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
