The CarbonNation: Rolling Back Climate Change One State at a Time
Climate change is pernicious, and progressive state’s are moving forward with carbon initiatives to help make the environment cleaner, and to free state’s and inhabitants from reliant on fossil fuels to drive our economy and heat homes. To take progressive environmental action to no longer be the Carbon Nation, State Senator Barrett discusses bills he has put forth to make Massachusetts a lit bit greener. It begins with a ‘revenue neutral’ plan to combat climate change – easily adoptable by other states that value clean energy, clean water and a clean environment. He’s got a plan that will put Massachusetts in the forefront of environmental stewardship, while also creating financial incentive to get a little greener.
