Issue Position

Pennsylvania is a state of luscious forests, teeming wildlife, beautiful rivers, and a history of environmental stewardship. We have co-existed with nature for centuries as hunters, farmers and caretakers of our shared future. We need to continue that tradition by making sure our rivers aren't unnecessarily contaminated, our forests remain healthy and our communities remain free from toxic chemicals.

To continue our traditions of environmental stewardship Representative Conklin wants to:

* Protect our natural resources from unnecessary harm
* Promote land conservation
* Push for new measures to encourage business and communities to adopt more environmentally friendly technologies and practices (like the grants Rep. Conklin helped local business get to install solar water heaters and adopt better waste management programs)
