Maya K. van Rossum, the Delaware River Keeper and author of the book: The Green Amendment, securing our rights to a healthy environment talks with Rob. It is always an uphill battle to stop polluting. People believe they may do whatever they like on property they own without regard for how their actions harm neighbors and people downstream. When fracking threatened to destroy land and drinking water, Maya van Rossum and other petitioners, successfully made the case that people have rights to clean water and clean habitation in their homes and neighborhoods. They won a watershed legal victory that protected Pennsylvania communities from ruthless frackers. They also launched the Green Amendment movement to affirm as a constitutional right a clean and healthy environment. Maya talks about battles won for clean water and the battles waged today.
