On the Environment
Let's protect our precious natural resources.
The preservation of our environment should not be a political issue but it is. In Harrisburg I will...
- Support Greg Vitali's efforts to form a statewide greenhouse gas inventory and implementation of strategies for Pennsylvanians to address the problem. Our legislature must take a long-term view and make the tough choices to ensure the future for our environment and the generations that follow us.
- Why do you need to be wealthy to be "green?" Create further incentives to make hybrid cars more affordable. The state fleet of cars has gone hybrid and people need to be encouraged and supported in making the same choice themselves.
- Preserve open space in Delaware County and throughout the Commonwealth. New development must be carefully considered and the environmental impact should get high priority to ensure that our resources are protected.
- Publicize the success of Gov. Rendell's continuing push for alternative energy. Exploring alternative energy strategies has a positive economic impact on the region as well as the commonwealth and this district has the chance to take a leadership role in alternative fuel development. Let's be leaders as we try to find a way to be less dependent on foreign sources of energy.
