SUMMARY:New Jersey Watershed Conference
DESCRIPTION:Maya van Rossum\, the Delaware Riverkeeper\, is excited to be speaking about her new book\, the Green Amendment\, and the Green Amendment Movement in New Jersey\, at the New Jersey Watershed Conference\, hosted by The Watershed Institute. Registration is required for this event—please register here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen:\n\n\nFriday\, November 2\, 11:15am-12:15pm\n\n\n\nWhere:\nThe Watershed Institute\n31 Titus Mill Road\nPennington\, New Jersey 08534\n\n\n\n\nAbout the book:\n\n\n\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.\n\n\n \n\n\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.\n\n\n \n\n\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.\n\n\n \n\n\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.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe Green Amendment includes a powerful foreword authored by Mark Ruffalo\, which supports the visionary constitutional path advocated for in the book.\n\n\nOrder a copy of The Green Amendment here.\n\n\n \n\n\nAbout Maya van Rossum:\n\n\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.

In The Green Amendment\, van Rossum lays out an inspiring new agenda for environmental advocacy\, one that will finally empower people.\n\n\n \n\n\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.\n\n\n \n\n\nThe Green Amendment includes a powerful foreword authored by Mark Ruffalo\, which supports the visionary constitutional path advocated for in the book.\n\n\nOrder a copy of The Green Amendment here.\n\n\n \n\n\nAbout Maya van Rossum:\n\n\nMaya K. van Rossum is the Delaware Riverkeeper and leader for the Delaware Riverkeeper Network.

Come out and meet Maya\, pick up a copy of the book\, and learn about the future of environmental advocacy. \nThe Green Amendment — Empowering Young People to Use Science\, the Law & Advocacy to Save The World\nThis panel presentation will encourage inclusion of/consideration of a new approach for environmental protection in environmental studies classes — an approach that relies on passage of constitutional environmental rights amendments (Green Amendments) at the state and federal level.

The goal of this session\, led by an environmental activist/attorney in partnership with a high school teacher\, is to inspire integration of the Green Amendment concept into the class room and to help students understand their role in advancing this approach for more effective environmental protection. \nWhen:\nConference runs from Wed\, June 20th to Sat\, June 23rd\nMaya’ Session: Saturday\, June 23\, 2018\, 9:00–10:30am\nWhere:\nAmerican University School of International Service\, Room 4\n4400 Massachusetts Ave NW\nWashington\, DC 20016 \nFind out more about the AESS Conference here. \nThis event is hosted by American University. \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.The 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. Following 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. We 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. The Green Amendment includes a powerful forward authored by Mark Ruffalo\, which supports the visionary constitutional path advocated for in the book. \nPurchase 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 She has led DRN for over 23 years.
