My role is not to choose between safeguarding the economy and protecting the environment - it's about doing both.

We must guard against the overreaching hand of big government trying to take away our freedom. And we must always protect the environment in a manner consistent with our values.

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

Local innovation and initiative can help us better understand how to protect our environment.

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.

As president, I will bring all the parties and stakeholders together. I am going to come up with a solution that respects the environment and does not cause an upheaval in the economy.

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.

I think it's important to watch out for our environment and to be careful.

I believe in the protection of the environment that supports us all.
