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

Environmental policy must strike a balance between the earth's best interests and our citizen's pressing needs.

I believe in just enriching the economy. And we're leaving so much on the table, 72 percent of the planet.
