There may indeed be a singular solution that addresses environmental racism, the climate crisis, pollution, and withering US ecosystems simultaneously. That solution? Green Amendments.
Constitutions are the people's documents. Although getting environmental rights included may indeed be ... well, difficult, advocates argue it's possible. In fact, it's already being done.
Today attorney and environmental activist Maya van Rossum empowers us to mobilize for constitutional change that will protect our right to a healthful climate once and for all.
Here's a preview:
[3:30] Held v. Montana's landmark win: Breaking down its implications in laymen's terms
[9:30] If environmental rights are indeed human rights, why didn't our founding fathers include them in the US Constitution?
[12:30] How legislative remedies (ahem ... The Clean Air Act, The Safe Drinking Water Act) legalize pollution and harm
[25:00] The power lies in grassroots organization. Join us!
