(Toms River, NJ) – State Senator John Adler, the Democratic candidate for Congress in New Jersey's 3rd District today joined local residents and members of the Sierra Club for the 3rd Annual "Earth Day Clean Up" in Toms River. Senator Adler spoke about the importance of tackling the environmental challenges of the 21st century, including the preservation of our drinking water, streams and beaches, and the role local communities can play in protecting our most natural resources.

"I'm proud to be here today with members of the Sierra Club and others in the community who have made it their top priority to protect and preserve our environment. I believe that we must work together on a local, regional, and global level to tackle the challenges posed by global warming, and reduce our independence on foreign oil. We face a serious threat from global warming. We need to make every day Earth Day," said Adler.

"It is critical that we protect our streams, beaches, and waterways to ensure that our children will have the benefits of enjoying our most precious natural resources and the outdoors. That's why if I am elected to Congress, I will continue to work with communities locally, statewide, nationally, and globally to deal with the challenges of global warming, and make protecting our environment a top priority."
