Earth Day 2021 will recognize the 50th Anniversary of the Environmental Rights Amendment, which guarantees citizens the right to clean air, pure water, and the preservation of the natural, scenic and historic value of the environment.

The amendment says--  “The people have a right to clean air, pure water, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and esthetic values of the environment. Pennsylvania’s public natural resources are the common property of all the people, including generations yet to come. As trustee of these resources, the Commonwealth shall conserve and maintain them for the benefit of all the people.”
