Climate Confident Green Amendments And Climate - A Chat With Maya van Rossum
Systemic change is needed to fix the climate. Piecemeal regulations won't cut it.
One woman who is working on fixing this is Maya van Rossum. She's the founder of For The Generations, an organisation working to get constitutions to pass a Green Amendment passed to guarantee a right to clean air, clean water, healthy environments, and a stable climate for present and future generations.
She has already had success getting a Green Amendment passed in the state of New York and is currently working with 12 other states to get amendments passed there too.
I invited her to come on the podcast to tell me more. We had a fantastic conversation. You can really here the passion in Maya's voice as our chat covered what a Green Amendment is, why it is needed, and how to go about getting one passed.
This was a truly fascinating episode of the podcast and I learned loads as always, and I hope you do too.
