Barack Obama has worked to ensure that our nation's environmental laws and policies balance America's need
for a healthy, sustainable environment with economic growth. He has reached across the aisle to sponsor ambitious legislation to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and turn this crisis of global warming into a moment of opportunity for innovation and job creation. The League of Conservation Voters has given Barack Obama the highest lifetime rating of anyone currently running for president.

As president, Barack Obama will make combating global warming a top priority. He will reinvigorate the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), respecting its professionalism and scientific integrity. And he will protect our children from toxins like lead, be a responsible steward of our natural treasures and reverse the Bush administration
