Press Release: On December 7, 2022, Fresh Air For The Eastside v. the State of New York, et. al, the Supreme Court of New York, the trial court level in New York State, issued the first decision based on the New York Green Amendment since it was added to the state’s constitutional Bill of Rights. In this ruling, the Court offered important points clarifying the meaning of the amendment....“This decision demonstrates the power and importance of recognizing the inalienable rights of all New Yorkers to clean water and air, and a healthful environment. But for the constitutionally recognized right, the Eastside community would appear to have no remedy for being overwhelmed by the air contamination emanating from the landfill, including the knowledge that greenhouse gas emissions released from the landfill were contributing to the climate crisis and the very direct and real ramifications climate change is inflicting on New York communities,” stated Maya van Rossum, Founder of the national Green Amendments For The Generations movement. “Green Amendments For The Generations was instrumental in securing New York’s constitutional environmental rights and is working nationwide to secure similar protections in every state constitution and ultimately at the federal level.”...forthegenerations.org/wp-content/uploads/Statement_First-Court-Decision-Based-on-the-New-York-Gre...#NYGreenAmendment ...
