Green Amendments For The Generations

What is NY up to regarding its #GreenAmendment? Several lawsuits have been brought up by the people since the law was adopted, but the state is not keen on embracing its new honor.Maya van Rossum writes:"In all three of these cases, the state is twisting itself into legal pretzels to deny the Green Amendment’s ability to check government action that may be legally responsible for the violations of the environmental rights of New Yorkers impacted by the permitted release of crystalline silica, greenhouse gases, hazardous air pollutants, and overwhelming noxious odors from industry and landfills. This pollution is harming the health of nearby communities, the success of local businesses, the property values of families and the ability of children to learn in school."It worries me that the state is trying to turn the NY Green Amendment into a marketing ploy by asserting its strength and value on the one hand, while at the same time trying to undercut its legal viability by arguing that New Yorkers cannot use it to protect and enforce their environmental rights against government infringement."..."In the final analysis, while a Green Amendment does create an obligation to protect the environmental rights of the people, it also provides a powerful tool for government officials to lift up and better protect our environment, to advance true environmental justice, and to stave off the climate crisis for the benefit of all people and all generations."citylimits.org/2024/07/18/opinion-state-government-must-protect-new-yorkers-rights-under-the-gree...#environmentalrights #environmentalfreedom #greenamendment #nygreenamendment #cleanair #cleanwater #purewater #healthyenvironment #climatechange Lights Out Norlite Seneca Lake Guardian, A Waterkeeper Affiliate Fresh Air for the Eastside ...
