Johh — As a Coloradan, Earth Day is one of my favorite days to celebrate.

Our majestic mountains, rich, green forests, and sparkling rivers give us a lot to appreciate but also protect. Growing up in Colorado, I’ve always been an avid hiker and camper, taking my daughters along on adventures. We must protect the beauty and bounty of our state so ALL Colorado families and visitors can enjoy this beauty for generations to come. This is why we must protect our environment and unite against climate change.

I've always made protecting our environment one of my top priorities, especially as our world faces a devastating climate crisis. I believe now is the time for bold, decisive action.

That's why in my role as the ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy, Climate, and Grid Security, I've focused on finding innovative ways to reduce our emissions, break America's addiction to oil, and deploy new clean-energy technologies to bring jobs for Americans.

I'm proud to say that in the past year, we've made great strides, from pushing to hold the oil industry accountable for methane emissions and introducing legislation to combat the effects of pollution in underserved areas. However, I know there's still so much we can do, like passing a federal clean energy standard and creating more jobs in the green energy industry.

Remember, the Earth is the only place we all call home. Not only is this holiday a time to go out and appreciate all the beauty nature has to offer, but it is a reminder that we're all in this together.

Thank you, and happy Earth Day!
