Summary

Protecting the environment requires more extensive systemic changes if we want to see a tangible impact on the current climate crisis. Joining us today to explain how we can achieve that is Maya K. van Rossum, author of The Green Amendment: The People's Fight For a Clean, Safe & Healthy Environment. Maya is also the Founder of Green Amendments For the Generations, a grassroots non-profit inspiring constitutional recognition and protection of environmental rights in every state and ultimately at the federal level. She chats with host Corinna Bellizzi to discuss why we need these constitutional changes prioritized to help mitigate and solve the threats against our environment. The current policies benefit corporations that contribute to massive environmental destruction, and it's up to the people to demand better. Listen to this episode to learn more about what they're doing and what you can do for your state, the country, and the world as we know it.
