Climate, environment, and clean air are of huge importance to me. Better environments result in healthier, longer lives, as well as give us pride of where we live. I know this is also an extremely important issue to younger generations, who have worries about how climate change will impact their future and this planet. This is why I continue to raise this issue locally and in Parliament, to ensure everyone has the opportunity to live a happy and healthier life.
