This resolution acknowledges the fundamental right of individuals to have access to clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment. It emphasizes that the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is inherently linked to the ability to enjoy a clean and healthy environment. The resolution asserts that without health, individuals' capacity to fully exercise their other rights is significantly compromised.
The resolution calls upon the House of Representatives to formally recognize this fundamental right and directs that copies be sent to key members of the New Hampshire congressional delegation, as well as the leadership of the New Hampshire Senate and House of Representatives. This action aims to promote awareness and support for environmental rights within the state and beyond.
