Please keep rVA in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). Its working.
The proceeds VA receives from RGGI auctions fund critical nature-based resilience projectsfrom living shorelines to expanding wetlands. These projects slow erosion and reduce the flow of sediment and nutrients to the Chesapeake Bay. The proceeds also reduce energy usage and utility bills for renters with lower incomes as well as homeowners, further reducing carbon emissions.
Collectively, we can slow the potentially devastating impacts of climate change. I urge you to keep Virginia in this program.
