Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative
The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative is a cooperative effort by Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states to reduce carbon dioxide emissions – a greenhouse gas that causes global warming. On December 20, governors from seven states signed a memorandum of understanding agreeing to implement the first mandatory US cap-and-trade program for carbon dioxide.
