Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative
 

Please do not remove Virginia from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. I have lived here my whole life and have seen the decline in the environment over time the winters have become shorter and there are barely any lightning bugs in the summer anymore. By removing this bill you are guaranteeing the continuation of the environmental downfall of this state. I’d like my kids to be able to see all of the great nature the state had to offer but it will continue to decline if you remove the protections that are trying to repair the generations of environmental damage. Think about the impact you are making on future generations- it seems like the government  -you all- are dead set on leaving future generations with a wasteland in nature and the health policy. We know that things are changing anyone can tell you the environment and weather has changed each year hotter than the last. Please stop focusing on lobbyists and those trying to line your pockets and do what is right for our great state. Financial and economic gain now is not worth an inhospitable environment in the future.
