// "So we have a choice to make. We can remain one of the world's leading importers of foreign oil, or we can make the investments that would allow us to become the world's leading exporter of renewable energy. We can let climate change continue to go unchecked, or we can help stop it. We can let the jobs of tomorrow be created abroad, or we can create those jobs right here in America and lay the foundation for lasting prosperity." // - President Obama 3/19/2009


 * The Plan:** Global warming has been a problematic situation that not only harms America, but the whole world as well. With the slow deterioration of the ozone layer, President Obama promises to resolve this situation; however his plan will take decades to fully turn America into the desirable environmental friendly nation. Obama initiated //The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act//, which will provide over $80 billion dollars to help the environment such as moving renewable energy to cities, developing renewable energy sources to cut energy spending, efficient battery development, and the green job training programs.

Air pollution furthers the effects of global warming and also causes deaths of thousands annually. With this, mercury pollution will be contained for one out of every six children suffers from disorders from mercury. Water is another factor that is in Obama’s agenda. Instead of merely preventing water pollution, Obama reaches out to restore the water. Starting from cleaning contaminated water from roads and highways, his objective also extends to the restoration of wetlands and the Great Lakes. Lastly with land, Obama will lead the preservation of national parks and conservation of brought lands from private owners. Obama’s notion of change will not only slowly improve the lives of Americans today, but will pave the road for a better future for generations to come.
