Thank you New Jersey Student Sustainability Coalition for creating this social media week of action on the #NJGreenAmendment !

Green Amendments put environmental rights on par with other fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, press and religion, property rights, and the right to bear arms. Protect environmental rights for the people of New Jersey, & help make #NJGreenAmendment a reality!
