We will be spending much of the coming
year studying
the issues which face the global
environment.
Sometimes, these seem like problems
that are being dealt
with in other areas of the world
and don't really hit
home. However, most of these issues
can and should hit
home. The goal of this project is
to gain a better
understanding of how some of these
challenges are
addressed locally and to think critically
about our options
for the future.
Because of the lack of federal global warming legislation, many people
have begun discussing options at the state level. California was
the first state to pass legislation and Northeastern states have created a regional initiative to reduce greenhouse gases
(RGGI – Massachusetts has not yet joined). Should this be a problem
that states address or is it really a federal issue?
