LIVINGSTON MANOR — Morgan Outdoors, 46 Main St., will host a discussion and signing of the book, “The Green Amendment: Securing Our Right to a Healthy Environment.” with its author Maya K. van Rossum, the Delaware Riverkeeper, on Saturday, July 14 at 4 p.m. Wes Gillingham, associate director of Catskill Mountainkeeper, will introduce van Rossum.

Van Rossum is a veteran environmentalist and licensed attorney who joined the Delaware Riverkeeper Network in 1994 as executive director and since 1996 has served as the Delaware Riverkeeper, championing the rights of people to a free-flowing, clean and healthy Delaware River and its tributary streams.

“The sad truth is our laws are designed to accommodate pollution rather than prevent it. People feel powerless when it comes to preserving the quality of their water, air, public parks and special natural spaces. The solution,” argues van Rossum in her book, “is to bypass the laws and turn to the ultimate authority: our state and federal constitutions.”

Van Rossum is currently advancing The Green Amendment movement, seeking to inspire and secure constitutional protection for environmental rights across the nation. “The Green Amendment” includes a foreword authored by Mark Ruffalo.
