Synopsis

REVISED AND UPDATED EDITION OF THE 2017 INDIE BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD FINALIST "In an age of environmental pessimism, van Rossum gives me hope." ―Mark Ruffalo, actor and clean water activist A veteran environmentalist outlines her inspiring agenda―one that uses the law to empower activists and provide hope for communities everywhere. We are approaching a critical tipping point in the fight for our environment. Corporations profit off climate change, natural disasters overwhelm communities across the world, and the most vulnerable suffer as our water and air are polluted. It's no wonder people feel powerless. But there is a solution. In The Green Amendment , veteran environmentalist Maya K. van Rossum presents her radically simple plan for a green future: bypass local laws and turn to the ultimate authority―our state and federal constitutions. Since her landmark 2013 legal victory that protected Pennsylvania communities from fracking, van Rossum has traveled the country sharing her vision for these "Green Amendments." And in this updated edition of her original rallying cry, van Rossum invites readers to join the movement. Step by step, The Green Amendment empowers us all to speak up and participate fully in democracy, creating change that will ensure a clean, safe Earth for generations to come.
