Please keep Virginia in RGGI
 

The climate emergency is the most urgent and dangerous issue ever faced by the people of Virginia, the United States and the world. Our future is right now being determined by our rational response to this existential threat. Our best science has established the necessary reduction of our greenhouse gas emissions by half within the next eight years. The future will judge us by our actions today.

The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative is a critical piece of our rational response to the climate crisis. It is a solid program proven to deliver tangible benefits to the citizens and states involved in the RGGI. For the sake of us all, and our collective success, please keep Virginia in the RGGI.
