The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) is an effort to curb pollution from the power sector. It charges electricity producers for the carbon pollution they create and invests it in energy savings, renewable energy and energy efficiency. But RGGI must be improved to ensure frontline communities see emission reductions and green investments. Northeast states participating in RGGI include Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Right now, these states are deciding how strong a pollution cap to set for the region. We're calling on Northeast Governors to double the strength of RGGI and conduct an environmental justice analysis. Will you join us in challenging RGGI states to do more to put #FrontlinesFirst? Join the Green For All Action Network to get started. |
