"It is important for states to be able to take the lead in protecting the environment when federal leadership is lacking, as it has been under the current administration. At the same time, there is value in having environmental standards that, to the maximum extent practicable, are equivalent throughout the nation.

As President, I will be a partner in pushing the envelope on environmental initiatives, so that important environmental and public health standards are the law of the entire land."
World Population [click here to read question twenty-nine]
"Yes."
