“When the federal government is actively undermining environmental protections in ways that may take generations to undo, it is up to us, on the state level, to stand up for our rights and pass the protective legislation we truly need. A New Jersey Green Amendment would close the corridor between Pennsylvania and New York, our neighbors who already have Green Amendments in their state constitutions, creating a protective corridor here in our region, making us stronger together,” said Blair Nelsen, Executive Director, Waterspirit. A recording of the press conference is available here. A PDF of this press release is here.

NJ Upgrading from Drought Watch to Drought Warning: Let's conserve together!
New Jersey, where Waterspirit’s office is now and has always been located, is facing a significant drought. Conditions continue to deteriorate across the state, recently prompting NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) to elevate the drought status from a “watch” to a “warning.” This is a direct call to action for every resident and business to significantly reduce water usage, now, and consistently going forward.

Protecting the Environment: A Critical Update on Sacred Water, Air and Our Future
Remember: policy can change but the public’s right to be heard remains constant. We are not just watching these protections be adjusted; we are actively working to further and advance water and environmental protections. We are using our voices and ensuring the public record contains comments that prioritize human health over short-term regulatory ease. Waterspirit submitted comments to the EPA and will continue to use every opportunity to speak up for water and for justice.
