Please continue our participation in RGGI
 

I support continuing Virginia’s participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI.)  I am proud of our support for this initiative, and we should continue this effort.

RGGI improves public health with decreased air pollution and reduced public health issues such as asthma.

Virginia’s plant emissions have decreased and RGGI is effective.  Plants are making more sustainable choices for renewable power. 

Creation care is an important part of my faith, and we should live out these values.  I encourage you to protect our participation in RGGI.
