Strengthen environmental protection for all species including humans.

When government claims to be “for the people” it must prove so through its actions. Who are “the people”? All people deserve good food, safe safe shelter, clean water and air. Long term protection of the environment and the creatures in it, must be a priority for long term healthy development. A balance must be struck. To help one at the expense of the other is wrong headed. All species appear to be in decline, not just species at risk. Laws need to be strengthened because it is obvious that the natural world is losing. What good is development if it is killing the very things people need to be healthy. “To kill the water, to kill the fish, to kill the trees, to kill the birds, is to kill ourselves.”(William Kent Krueger)
