# Policy

On policy, we focus on state/provincial and local government action, to encourage all levels of government to get involved in the herculean task of cleaning up the legacy emissions that are clogging our environment and driving both climate change and ocean acidification. We partner with legislators and agencies to help craft policies to support the development of a thriving Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) industry on the Pacific Coast and across North America.
