The security of our water is under attack—the Supreme Court just issued a ruling that weakens protections under the Clean Water Ac, allowing more sewage to be dumped into waterbodies:"Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the EPA does not have the authority to make cities and other polluters comply with what he called “end result” permits — or permits that allow a certain amount of pollution discharge, with limits — but rather that the EPA itself should be responsible for maintaining the standards."He argued that the EPA is “armed with amdple tools” to enforce such standards — at a time when Donald Trump and Elon Musk are slashing the EPA’s operations and after the Supreme Court dramatically weakened federal agencies’ ability to interpret and enforce laws."truthout.org/articles/supreme-court-weakens-epa-ability-to-limit-discharge-of-raw-sewage-into-water/#CleanWaterAct #SupremeCourt #NPDES ...

This is a critical time:“We are at a dangerous moment in history,” van Rossum said. “We, the people, have to band together through activism, to demand, and advocate for, and through action, seek and secure the critical, basic environmental protections that we all are entitled to.”..."Connecticut has several policies geared toward protecting the environment, water and air, but advocates say an amendment allowing citizens to take stronger legal action could prompt a bigger emphasis on preventing negative environmental impacts in the first place.“You cannot imagine and address every single scenario across time and across the geography of Connecticut. And so good government officials see this as a tool that the people can use,” said Maya van Rossum, founder of Green Amendments for the Generations Movement, which helps other states advocate for such efforts."www.ctpublic.org/news/2025-02-28/ct-again-considering-making-right-to-a-healthy-environment-part-...#CTGreenAmendment #GreenAmendment #EnvironmentalRights #CleanAir #CleanWater #Environment ...
