thanks and much love to everyone in both of these states that i’ve called home.

This is great! This shows that now the government is getting more involved in environmental issues such as CO2 emissions, which are severely damagaging our atmosphere and oceanic environments. Hopefully this will inspire a trend and more of these plants can be prevented!
