Andrew Gillum on Environment |
GILLUM: Our unique waterways are just too important to allow both pollution and inaction to run rampant. As Governor, I'll demand that Florida Forever is properly funded at its original levels, ensure that the Everglades Agricultural Area reservoir, filtration marshes, and water restoration projects are done right-- not done with big industries in mind--I'll make sure that our nutrient standards are strictly enforced, and I'll insist that our utilities commit to the energy efficiency and conservation measures that state law requires them to.
A: Strongly Oppose--Andrew is deeply concerned with the Republicans' assault on the EPA and its critical role of protecting our children and families from toxic pollution.
Q: How do you apply that to state issues instead of the federal EPA?
A: As Governor, Andrew will take on the challenge of rebuilding Florida into a more resilient state and protecting our natural resources that make Florida the nation's number one tourist destination. Andrew will make protecting the Everglades a priority, work to keep our water clean from toxic algae blooms, and fight to protect Florida's access to clean water sources.
This approach will sharply reduce toxic pollutants like carbon, mercury and sulfur dioxide.
