Bill > HR10

This resolution recognizes clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment as fundamental human rights, asserting that these environmental conditions are essential to an individual's ability to fully enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The resolution argues that environmental health is as crucial to human well-being as other fundamental rights and that without good health—which is directly influenced by environmental quality—a person's capacity to exercise their other rights is significantly diminished. Specifically, the resolution declares that each person has an inherent right to clean air, clean water, and a healthy environment, and calls for copies of this resolution to be distributed to key government officials, including members of the New Hampshire congressional delegation, the president of the New Hampshire senate, and the speaker of the New Hampshire house of representatives. While the resolution appears to be primarily a statement of principles rather than a binding law, it represents an important symbolic affirmation of environmental rights.
