Our community is blessed with a wonderful natural environment in a beautiful country, and it’s important to keep it that way. While there are big global environmental challenges, the best place to start is at home on what we can control, which is why I’ve always supported local anti-littering initiatives to investments in soil erosion. And at a national level I’ve passed laws to establish a whole new renewable energy industry to cut emissions and grow the economy, because environmental stewardship requires leadership.
