Plaintiff, vs. STATE OF COLORADO Defendant.Case No.: [Number] COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY RELIEF INTRODUCTION Our system of law has failed to stop the degradation of the natural environment, and consequently, has failed to protect the natural and human communities which depend on it for their survival and livelihood.
