In January, newly elected Governor Deval Patrick signed Massachusetts on to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), which is a pact between the New England Governors to aggressively reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are causing global warming. This move came after years of tireless advocacy and activism on the part of students across the state. A commitment had initially been made by former Governor Romney who unfortunately backed the Commonwealth out of the agreement at the last minute. With this victory we can now put Massachusetts back on the path to solving global warming.
