We don't have to sacrifice a strong economy for a healthy environment.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One cannot find a healthy economy anywhere in the world that does not have a strong industrial base, period.
Indeed, the economy and the environment need not be seen in opposition.
Our traditional oil and gas philosophy does not have conservation as a crucial component, and we can ill afford to continue to spend billions of dollars which are not reflected in the improved human capital of our country.
Business is a subset of the environment, not the other way around. You can't have a healthy economy, you can't have a healthy anything in a degraded environment.
We cannot afford to leave the poor behind.
We make the future sustainable when we invest in the poor, not when we insist on their suffering.
You can't have a healthy civilization without healthy soil. You can't have junk food and have healthy people.
Nobody should live in an environment that's not healthy.
What we've proven is that you can protect the environment, use it wisely and grow the economy and that there is no conflict between the two.
If we intend to provide a better life, and a better world, for future generations, we can't ignore the quality of the environment we leave them.
