What is good for the environment is good for the economy.

We need to stop providing subsidies and handouts for fossil fuel companies and support clean energy instead.

Without clean air, water and soil all the money in the world is useless. We are already seeing the environmental and economic effects of climate change with extreme weather events, record breaking heat and natural disasters. Ignoring these issues won't make them go away, it exacerbates them and ensures that future generations will have an even larger problem to deal with.

Supporting environmental causes is not a waste of money or a fringe issue, it is an investment in our future.

Cancelling cap and trade without stronger legislation already in place is a huge step backward.
