I. Air and Soil and Water are vital to the health of all life, including all humans, plants and all living creatures equally. Every human being has the right to fulfill their stewardship of Earth in ways which ensure sustainable and healthy growth for their own life and future generations. People, animals or plants with sensitive reactions toward chemicals and hazards are valuable barometers for measuring the health of the environment.
II. Every person has the right to demand and obtain rapid and transparent information regarding the health and chemical composition of their local Air and Soil and Water.
III. Any person, alone or with others, may obtain equipment, access to laboratories and tests to measure the health of Air and Soil and Water. Governments shall assist in performing the tests without delay when a person or people cannot afford or do not have access or ability to test.
IV. All nature is interdependent and chemicals and pollutants in Air, Soil and Water often migrate and affect the health of Air and Soil and Water in areas far from the source of the pollutant or hazard. Any person can therefore obtain and it is their right to receive information regarding sources of hazard or pollution and their migration.
V. No agency or business or government can prevent or delay testing or cause hindrance in delivering environmental reports and investigations to the public or person who requests the information. Rapid disclosure is often necessary to safeguard pubic health. A government agency, business, or person who knows of a pollutant or hazard must make timely disclosures to the public
VI. Sources of fresh water are critical to life. Many times sources of water are hidden and unknown to people. Communities must locate and map their local and regional sources of water. Sources of water and the health status of water needs to be made public and common knowledge and delivered to the public at least annually.
All vital civilizations require people who are educated in their rights and who are willing and able to easily claim their rights. The purpose of government is to protect and not hinder individuals in their quest for health, education, self empowerment and happiness.
Today in 2008, people worldwide are recognizing the necessity to uphold and safeguard Natural Law, also known as the Laws of Nature. A healthy Earth is a uniting cause for all people, none excluded, for all are dependent equally on Air and Soil and Water.
This Bill of Rights for All People and Natural Law in Philadelphia is supported by the following Citizens of Philadelphia in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and other Citizens of Earth to up hold the Natural Laws of Earth by which all Life is Sustained, and therefore more effectively protect and clean up Air and Soil and Water.
