Earth Rights Amendment
This is a proposed Earth Rights Amendment for municipal, state and national codes and constitutions:People have a right to the earth, sustained in a healthy condition. Therefore,
- Citizens have a primary and equal claim to “rent” - the economic value of land sites and natural resources.
- The government as their agent is obliged to effect this claim by:
- Collecting resource rent via taxes, leases, use fees, dues, or other means
- Disbursing the recovered rent via provision of government services and/or dividends that benefit all members of society equally.
- The government shall enforce the liability of persons and corporations who damage the carrying capacity of the earth.
