support 30% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030
 

Increasing emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is causing dramatic changes in our climate. The solutions are obvious, the technologies are in hand and becoming ever better and cheaper, all that's missing to address this global crisis is the political will to foster implementation of these solutions.  We can start in Virginia, as people are starting locally in cities and states around the world, to address an existential problem that threatens to cost us lives, money, and our very way of living.  30/30 is a modest goal, but it's a start.  We need to start.
