push congress to pass an amendment to the constitution guaranteeing the right to clean air, water, and soil.

What is more basic and fundamental than the right to free speech, to the press, to religion, or even the right against enslavement to the flourishing of every citizen in a free state is the right to breathe clean air, drink pure water, and harvest from clean earth. We petition that the Obama administration push Congress to pass an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that guarantees a right to a clean environment.
