Bush, G

Nineteen eighty-eight is the year Earth spoke back. That statement has a good side, as well as the obvious bad one. The positive result is that it may stir Americans, and leaders all over the world, into a new recognition of the importance of protecting the environment. That can only help, because addressing problems as comprehensive in scope as global warming, acid rain, and waste management will require the involvement of all citizens, and indeed all nations. The trick is to ensure that the concern lasts beyond the end of the summer. I can state categorically that, in a Bush administration, concern for the environment will be year-around. In fact, one goal of a Bush presidency would be to lead America toward a greater conservation ethic - a greater understanding that a clean and protected environment is essential to our public health, to our continued enjoyment of the outdoors, to our economic development, and ultimately to our quality of life. Most important, we owe it to our children and grandchildren to leave them a planet that is better than we found it.
