"50 years ago, we celebrated the first #EarthDay. In the decades since, we have had significant victories. The air we breathe and water we drink is cleaner, and our economy has grown, yet more work remains. https://majorityleader.gov/content/hoyer-statement-50th-anniversary-earth-day"

"Since that time, we have also seen the rise and urgency of a climate crisis that threatens all nations. We are also living at a time when denial of basic science is rampant, & the Trump Admin dangerously ignores the reality of the climate crisis while rolling back protections."

"As we confront the coronavirus pandemic, let us remember that the same factors driving climate change also put more people at risk from respiratory diseases. A global challenge requires a global response. We must work to protect our planet and safeguard the most vulnerable."

"That's why House Dems passed H.R. 9, the Climate Action Now Act, last year. It's why we must also push for America to work in concert with the rest of the world in combatting coronavirus and ensuring that critical, life-saving resources are available to all those who need them."

"House Democrats will not rest as long as this Administration threatens our air, water, and the health of this planet. We will continue to pursue bold initiatives to protect public health and mitigate the effects of climate change. #EarthDay2020"
