Every American has the right to a safe and healthy environment. We oppose any measures that would roll back the environmental progress of the last 25 years. We commit ourselves to support the following simple principles, and will hold public officials who represent us accountable for their stewardship of the planet.
Every person is entitled to air, water, food and communities free from toxic chemicals.
Wildlife, forests, mountains and prairies, wetlands, rivers, lakes, historic sites, urban parks and open space, oceans and coastlines are all part of our national heritage. End the subsidies for oil and energy companies. Polluters should pay to clean up the mess they create. No one has the right to use property in a way that destroys or degrades the surrounding community. We reject the idea that good neighbors must pay bad ones not to pollute.
