PLEASE stay in RGGI
 

Please keep us in RGGI so that Virginia can continue to be a leader in fighting pollution and climate change. The students in my environmental literature course will be sorely disappointed if Virginia takes a massive step backwards by leaving RGGI. We have the potential to be a state community that is helping to build a better future, and stopping our participation in RGGI will seriously detract from that possibility. This state is part of a wider society, and we all need to work together to face and fight the climate issues that we are already experiencing. I will be thrilled if we maintain our commitment to RGGI. 

 

Sincerely, 

 

Jamie Biondi
