Description
As the climate crisis and toxic pollution worsen, environmentalists are using new strategies to challenge the power of the fossil fuel, petro-chemical and other polluting industries. The "Green Amendments" movement would put environmental protection in state and federal, constitutions and make it an unquestionable right. It already exists in three states (Montana, Pennsylvania and New York) and they are working to add it to more state constitutions.
In our latest, we talk with Green Amendments founder and Delaware Riverkeeper Maya van Rossum (@MayaKvanRossum) about Green Amendments.
