SUMMARY:The Book Garden
DESCRIPTION:Join veteran environmentalist and original petitioner and leader of the Green Amendment movement\, Maya van Rossum at the The Book Garden\, as she discusses her new book\, The Green Amendment: Securing Our Right to a Healthy Environment\, followed by Q&A and signing. Come out and meet Maya\, pick up a copy of the book\, and learn about the future of environmental advocacy. \nWhen:\nFriday\, January 25\, 2019\, 7pm\nWhere:\nThe Book Garden\n28 Bridge St.\nFrenchtown\, NJ 08825 \n\nAbout the book:\nIn the decades long fight for a cleaner environment\, we’ve been fighting a losing battle. The sad truth is\, our laws are designed to accommodate pollution rather than prevent it. People feel powerless when it comes to preserving the quality of their water\, air\, public parks\, and special natural spaces. \nThe solution\, argues Delaware Riverkeeper Maya K. van Rossum in a pathbreaking book\, is to 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. \nFollowing this victory\, van Rossum inaugurated the Green Amendment movement\, dedicated to empowering every American community to mobilize for constitutional change. In The Green Amendment\, van Rossum lays out an inspiring new agenda for environmental advocacy\, one that will finally empower people. \nWe 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. \nThe Green Amendment has been honored as a 2018 Living Now Evergreen Awards GOLD Winner in the Nature Conservation category\, received an Honorable Mention in the 2017 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards\, and includes a powerful foreword authored by Mark Ruffalo\, which supports the visionary constitutional path advocated for in the book. \nPurchase a copy of The Green Amendment here. \nAbout the Author:\nMaya K. van Rossum is the Delaware Riverkeeper and leader for the Delaware Riverkeeper Network.  The Delaware Riverkeeper Network works throughout the four states of the Delaware River watershed (NY\, NJ\, PA & DE) and at the national level using advocacy\, science and litigation. van Rossum\, who is skilled as an environmental attorney\, strategist\, community organizer\, facilitator\, coalition builder and manager\, has led DRN for over 23 years. She is author of The Green Amendment: Securing Our Right to a Healthy Environment and is the original petitioner and leader of the Green Amendment movement\, seeking to inspire and secure constitutional protection for environmental rights across the nation.  Maya is also a lifetime resident of Radnor Township\, Pennsylvania\, having grown up in Villanova and now residing with her family in Bryn Mawr.  During her years in Radnor\, she has enjoyed the creeks and natural space of Radnor and the Delaware County region.  Some of these experiences feature prominently in her book.

SUMMARY:Labyrinth Books Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to invite you to a book signing and discussion with the Delaware Riverkeeper\, Maya van Rossum\, the Delaware Riverkeeper\, and author of The Green Amendment: Securing Our Right to a Healthy Environment\, at Labryinth Books! Come out\, meet Maya\, pick up a copy of her latest book and learn about the future of environmental advocacy!\nUnknown Object \nWhen:\nTuesday June 26\, 2018\, 6:00pm\nWhere:\nLabyrinth Books\n122 Nassau St\nPrinceton\, NJ 08542 \nThis event is FREE and OPEN to the public. \n\nAbout the book:\nIn the decades long fight for a cleaner environment\, we’ve been fighting a losing battle. The sad truth is\, our laws are designed to accommodate pollution rather than prevent it. People feel powerless when it comes to preserving the quality of their water\, air\, public parks\, and special natural spaces. \nThe solution\, argues Delaware Riverkeeper Maya K. van Rossum in a pathbreaking book\, is to 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. \nFollowing this victory\, van Rossum inaugurated the Green Amendment movement\, dedicated to empowering every American community to mobilize for constitutional change. In The Green Amendment\, van Rossum lays out an inspiring new agenda for environmental advocacy\, one that will finally empower people. \nWe 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. \nThe Green Amendment includes a powerful foreword authored by Mark Ruffalo\, which supports the visionary constitutional path advocated for in the book. \nOrder a copy of The Green Amendment: Securing Our Right to a Healthy Environment \nAbout Maya van Rossum:\nMaya K. van Rossum is the Delaware Riverkeeper and leader for the Delaware Riverkeeper Network. The Delaware Riverkeeper Network works throughout the four states of the Delaware River watershed (NY\, NJ\, PA & DE) and at the national level using advocacy\, science and litigation. DRN’s main office in Bristol\, PA . van Rossum has led DRN for over 23 years. During van Rossum’s leadership\, the organization\, and van Rossum herself\, were the lead plaintiffs that brought forth the legal arguments that inspired the PA Supreme Court to breathe life into PA’s long ignored environmental rights amendment. van Rossum is currently advancing The Green Amendment movement\, seeking to inspire and secure constitutional protection for environmental rights across the nation.
