Fighting for a Green Amendment -- Notes -- Index -- About the Author 520 $a "We have reached a critical tipping point in our fight for the environment: Corporations profit off climate change, natural disasters devastate homes, and the most vulnerable suffer the health effects of pollution. Yet our laws are designed to accommodate this destruction rather than prevent it. Without government support, 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--to ensure we have the right to a healthy environment."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Environmental protection $z United States $x Citizen participation. 650 0 $a Environmentalism $z United States. 650 0 $a Environmental policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Human ecology. 700 1 $a Harris, Kerri Evelyn, $e author of foreword. 700 1 $a Ruffalo, Mark, $e author of foreword. 941 $a 2 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231107010321.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230405013359.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5183DD22D37711ED83DD52344BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
