I believe the American people care a lot about the environment.

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

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.

When it comes to the environment in our own backyard, we understand it far better than anybody in Washington D.C.

It's time we stopped ignoring the environment. Let's not let another election go by without making this a high priority.

When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don't advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy.

The newspaper headlines may shout about global warming, extinctions of living species, the devastation of rain forests, and other worldwide catastrophes, but Americans evince a striking complacency when it comes to their everyday environment and the growing calamity that it represents.

After 'An Inconvenient Truth' came out, a lot of people came to me with their causes, and there are a lot - water, poverty, and so many, many more.

This Bush administration has a growing credibility gap, maybe even a credibility chasm, on environmental policy. The President has lost the trust of the American people when it comes to the environment.

Address these environmental issues and you will address every issue known to man. And we keep dabbling in things that aren't really that important in the long term.
