As Teresa Heinz-Kerry introduced her husband to the Convention delegates, she highlighted his environmental vision for America. Read excerpts below:

"John believes in a bright future. He believes we can, and we will, invent the technologies, new materials, and conservation methods of the future. He believes that alternative fuels will guarantee that not only will no American boy or girl go to war because of our dependence on foreign oil, but also that our economy will forever become independent of this need. We can, and we will, create good, competitive, and sustainable jobs while still protecting the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the health of our children, because good environmental policy is good economics."

"With John Kerry as president, global climate change and other threats to the health of our planet will begin to be reversed."
