The Environment
We must protect the environment for our children. By supporting green businesses and technologies, we help preserve our environment. Congress must take an active role in crafting a sustainable environmental policy that address every issue ranging from global warming to pollution of Lake Michigan. In Congress, Scott Harper will be a champion of environmental causes. He will:
Fight global warming and work to achieve energy independence
Global warming is real. It is happening and we must work to stop it. In Congress, Scott Harper will support legislation that sensibly increases fuel efficiency standards and provides incentives for renewable and alternative energy. Scott knows that energy independence will save consumers money and will create green jobs here at home.
Protect Lake Michigan and preserve our drinking water
During the Bush Administration, plans to preserve Lake Michigan and reduce mercury pollution in it have fallen by the wayside. Instead of being a leader on these issues, Judy Biggert has taken thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from big oil companies. In Congress, Scott Harper will immediately reverse these policies and work to clean up Lake Michigan so that our drinking water will be safer for our children.
Strengthen Clean Air and Water Acts
Childhood asthma, contaminated drinking water and atmosphere toxic pollutants are all reasons that we must strengthen the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts. Instead of allowing polluters a free pass, Scott Harper will work to strengthen these acts and work with the Environmental Protection Agency to ensure that we are protecting our environment.
