I do care a great deal about the environment but my real work and my greatest challenge is trying to overcome deceits that end up jeopardizing public health and safety.

I am an advocate for awareness, the truth, and a person's right to know. I believe that in the absence of the truth, all of us stand helpless to defend ourselves, our families and our health, which is the greatest gift we have.

For me, what I see happening in this [clean water] crisis is deterioration of the family. It is deterioration of our health.

My mom and my dad taught me the greatest gifts we have are our family, our health and the right to clean water and good land.

Life is full of challenges. How you handle these challenges is what builds character. Never be afraid to be who you are.

If you follow your heart, if you listen to your gut, and if you extend your hand to help another, not for any agenda, but for the sake of humanity, you are going to find the truth.

What people don't understand is like when water gets polluted, it's an entire aquifer. There's a whole fascinating world that exists underneath our feet that we don't see, therefore we don't relate.
