PENNSYLVANIA GREEN AMENDMENT

Green Amendments For The Generations – the Pennsylvania Green Amendment

Securing a Constitutional Right to Pure Water, Clean Air, a Stable Climate & Healthy Environments, For All People, Including Future Generations, Regardless of Race, Ethnicity, or Socioeconomics.

The goal of the Green Amendments For The Generations is to advance a Green Amendment movement (the Environmental Rights Amendment) that sweeps the nation and secures for all people constitutional recognition and protection of their inalienable rights to pure water, clean air, a stable climate  and healthy environments.  We seek to inspire and support pursuit and passage of self-executing, environmental rights amendments in the Bill of Rights section of every state constitution across the U.S. and ultimately at the federal level. Once accomplished, we will work with communities to ensure their strong and meaningful implementation and enforcement. What is the Green Amendment? Learn more about the Pennsylvania Green Amendment.
