Scenic Hudson is a not-for-profit environmental organization in New York that protects land, creates and enhances parks, and advocates for environmentally responsible policies and development practices. == History == Scenic Hudson was founded as the Scenic Hudson Preservation Conference on November 8, 1963, when Hudson Valley residents organized to save Storm King Mountain from being transformed into the world's largest pumped-storage hydroelectric plant. The organization successfully mounted the Scenic Hudson Preservation Conference v. Federal Power Commission court case, which saved the mountain and, for the first time, gave U.S. citizens legal standing to challenge development proposals on environmental grounds. Known as "The Scenic Hudson Decision," the case became a cornerstone of environmental law in the United States, and is widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://library.marist.edu/archives/mehp/scenicdecision.html )〕 After the Storm King Mountain case, Scenic Hudson gained more visibility, and began working with other local communities to protect important natural resources and adopt sound environmental policies. Scenic Hudson adopted three principles:〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.scenichudson.org/about/mission )〕 # Outstanding quality of life is achievable only when a clean, healthy environment is a key component of economic development. # All citizens have a right to outstanding quality of life, including access to our Hudson River, to open space and to participate in community decision-making. # Our natural environment is an irreplaceable source of spiritual and artistic vitality and must be preserved forever. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scenic Hudson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
