5th Democratic Primary Debate: on Environment


Elizabeth Warren: Public service for 10,000 people on public lands

This is about building for our entire nation. And I believe we should do that. I also believe we should have other service opportunities in this country. So, for example, what I want to do is for our federal lands, I want to bring in 10,000 people who want to be able to serve in our federal lands to be able to help rebuild our national forests and national parks as a way to express both their public service and their commitment to fighting back against climate change. We can do this as a nation.

Tulsi Gabbard: People of all parties want clean air and safe water

We have Democrats, Republicans, libertarians, and independents coming together, saying we are all concerned about clean water to drink, that we have clean air to breathe, that we're able to raise our kids in a community that's safe. I would transition our country off fossil fuels and end the $30 billion in subsidies we are giving to the fossil fuel industry instead of investing in a green renewable energy economy.
