He is well known for the various legislation he has presented on the environment such as the “Responsible Access to the Mountains,” and ”Environmental Impact Evaluation Service,” bills among many others.

Additionally, Sebastian is focused on promoting climate action through an environmental donation law that will create funding for initiatives to combat climate change.
