Issue Position: On the Environment: Safeguarding Our Children's Heritage

Issue Position

We are stewards of this planet. It is our responsibility to conserve and replenish our natural resources and create a healthy environment for our children. Therefore, I believe in extending the bottle bill to water and juice containers, to reduce the amount of plastic that threatens to pollute our land and waters. While 80 percent of returnable bottles and cans are returned, only one-third of non-returnable bottles are recycled. As a member of the House Committee on Global Warming and Climate Change I will continued to work to address this issue and others that affect pollution and climate change.
