Hey there, we cannot escape the environmental impacts of climate change that are taking shape in cities across the country like mine! I’m so proud of the work that has gone into developing the RVAgreen 2050 plan. However, local governments alone cannot solve the climate crisis! The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is a common sense, market-based, cost-effective, and critically important program that cuts harmful carbon pollution while delivering a multitude of benefits to communities across Virginia. I wholeheartedly urge the Members of the Air Pollution Control Board to continue Virginia’s participation in RGGI.
