"Nowhere is there a greater need for a new vision - a better vision - than in the decisions we make that affect the health of the environment. We know intuitively that America is only as healthy as the water our children drink, the air they breathe, the yards and parks in which they play and laugh, and the communities in which they live. The question is whether armed with that knowledge our generation will leave our children and grandchildren an earth that is cleaner not more degraded, more beautiful not more polluted, healthier and safer for children and other living things than the world we inherited from our parents and grandparents." ---John Kerry, February 9, 2003
John Kerry has been a leader in the environmental movement throughout his career. Kerry was called the Senate’s most outspoken environmentalist and was named an Environmental Hero by the League of Conservation Voters. In 1970 he helped organize the Massachusetts’ first Earth Day, then led the fight against acid rain in the northeast as Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts. He helped defeat efforts to roll back the environmental accomplishments of a generation whether in the form of regulatory reform or efforts to drill in national monuments and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. And Kerry led the effort to make environmental preservation a global priority through comprehensive treaties and pushing for the inclusion
of important environmental protections in free trade agreements.
