I am working to make sure we don't only protect the environment, we also improve governance.

With today's mass media obsession, it's good to be able to raise awareness about our environment.

The need to protect the environment has emerged as an undeniably important priority for me.

Without the materials needed to manufacture new technologies, our future innovators will not have the resources necessary to tackle the biggest challenges we face in today's society. I strongly believe in being a positive and creative force in the protection and enhancement of the local and global environment.

I've always been a strong supporter of environmental protection and initiatives in that area. But I'm willing to set priorities. If we have to make reductions in one place, we'll have to-in order to increase another place, I'm willing to do that.

The only way forward, if we are going to improve the quality of the environment, is to get everybody involved.

I think the best thing I can hope to achieve is to educate, or make aware, as many people as possible on how the little things they do every day really do affect our environment, and how easy it is to fix some of those things.

The real cure for our environmental problems is to understand that our job is to salvage Mother Nature. We are facing a formidable enemy in this field. It is the hunters... and to convince them to leave their guns on the wall is going to be very difficult.

There is a growing recognition of the importance of really bringing pollution under control.

We need to promote development that does not destroy our environment.
