We need to pass an alternative/revision to the current cap and
trade policy.  This is especially because of the industrial
polluters who can evidently take advantage of the "trade" part of
the current cap and trade policies.  Residents who live in
proximity to these polluters (many of whom are currently allowed to
continue their detrimental levels of pollution) suffer the most
immediate health effects. This needs to be changed.

In a time of financial instability, those who have the privilege to
make big changes through policy need to take advantage of their
position to help create and sustain resilient communities. A
community is resilient when its members are equipped with the tools
(i.e. health) in order to self-sustain when global forces are not
favorable.  And one way to start is to ensure the formation and
proper regulation of policies to have cleaner air for each and
every community in California.

Thanks for your time,
