How Environmental Laws Can Protect People, Not Polluters

In this Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2013 file photo, steam rises from cooling towers at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station in Londenderry Township, Pa., next to the Susquehanna River.

Environmentalist and Delaware Riverkeeper Maya K. Van Rossum discusses her new book The Green Amendment: Securing Our Right to A Healthy Environment. Van Rossum argues that our environmental laws have been designed to accommodate pollution rather than prevent it. She lays out a new agenda for environmental advocacy that looks to empower citizens and protect our right to clean air and water.

This segment is guest hosted by Jami Floyd.
