As citizens of one of the greatest nations on earth, we are blessed with an abundance of natural resources. Therefore, it is our moral and civic responsibility to be stewards of our environment for the benefit of all.

 

We must continually seek innovative ways to ensure that present and future generations have reasonable access to clean and safe food, air, land, and water.

 

Short and long-term environmental protections and preservation must be based on scientifically sound data and conclusions.

 

Human caused climate change to our earth has begun. Environmental destruction and social disruption is a result thereof and will continue unabated unless significant mitigation efforts are immediately undertaken. We must pursue substantial measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions and reduce their devastating impacts.

 

We continually seek environmental justice for public health protection and general welfare of all people.

 

Preservation and stewardship of the earth’s environment are Democratic values, and those of all humans.
