Details: Environment New Jersey is holding a community briefing to educate residents on the benefits of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, and what you can do to convince your elected officials to stop Governor Christie's attacks on this clean air program.

Your local legislators will soon cast a key vote that will determine whether New Jersey sticks with the program. Join us on Monday in asking them to stand up to Governor Christie on this issue, and stand with the people of New Jersey for cleaner air and clean energy. 

You can also sign our online petition on this issue at: http://www.norollback.org to support on this issue. We need to continue this important program if we hope to clean our air, promote clean energy, and help fight climate change.
