How could have the founding fathers seen what time would bring? Change demands change or justice in accompaniment for all not the few..

Support Green Amendment NJ Constitution Long Overdue.

Green Amendment..Call State Legislatures ACR80 SCR30 Let us Really Promote the General Welfare, not just the Profit motive.
We need Nature; Nature does not need US. As we alienate and further ourselves from the source of life, we become less intelligent, and more self serving which is anti-life as all things in life serve the whole, and the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. We have outsmarted ourselves. All things have limits, unfortunately we fail to see this, as money has replaced common sense itself..The Green Amendment s already seemingly, inherent in the Constitution; " To Promote the General Welfare. Why do we fail to see it? Now we need it! Property rights have reached absurd privilege; some checks and balances are needed here. Rights of Health, well being and proven sciences of sustainability placed on equal footing.

Honorable State Legislators.
Assembly Bill ACR/80 Senate SCR30..This would like in Pennsylvania & Montana (others pending) protect our right to pure water,clean air,and a stable climate and healthy environments.
ASK Them to sponsor the Bill if they have not..How long will we allow corporate property rights supercede our right to Health & Wellbeing and a future worth having. We can not continue to injure our Biosphere; everything in life in connected. The right to pollute, over development and not being responsible for impacts and costs has survived long enough.
We all live in a complex biological system. Mitochondria in the cell, cell in the organism, the organism in the ecosystem, the ecosystem in the biosphere. This complex world of biological cooperation is being injured and destroyed, along with a future worth living; this is now the legacy of degraded life we are passing on to our children.

There are no two-sides in environmental sustainability and justice. “So, let us not be blind to our differences--If we are to overcome the environmental/pollution crisis, we need an accurate diagnosis of the root causes. Incompetence, greed, and short-sightedness are surely important contributing factors. Unfortunately encouraged and multiplied by structural features of our current political system.

"but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.” John F Kennedy; June 10 1963 American University Speech Washington, DC. Six months before his murder.
