2020 IL Senate race: on Environment


Mark Curran: Use EPA to prosecute corporate polluters

Although, I do not believe the dire warnings that the end of Earth is imminent we are still called to be good stewards. We can work to develop cleaner alternative fuel sources. The Environmental Protection Agency serves an important purpose. Corporate polluters should be prosecuted and sent to prison. We need to protect our water supply. We need to continue to spend money to research climate issues and what can be done to protect the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat.

Richard Durbin: Renovate our entire drinking water infrastructure

We need to invest in renovating the entirety of our drinking water infrastructure to ensure all Americans have access to lead-free drinking water. We need to seriously address the injustices that have required certain communities to bear the brunt of the damage associated with industrialization. We should clean up legacy superfund and other pollution sites and invest in green spaces and necessary renovations in environmental justice communities.
