I am in full support of the plan's greater emphasis on the role of
land use and local government efforts in meeting the grenhouse gas
reduction goals.  As a public health professional, I would like to
see a more formal role for public health in the implementation of
AB 32.  I would also like to see protections in place for
low-income communities to reduce disparities in health burdens. 
Finally, I would like to see an even higher target for greenhouse
gas reductions from the land use sector.  The current target of 5
MMT does not keep California on track for achieving our 2050
greenhouse gas reduction goals.  CARB should increase the goal for
emissions reductions to 11-14 MMT.  This would send an important
signal to create communities that enable people to get out of their
cars and walk, bike, or take public transportation.  This would
improve their own health while improving the health of the planet.
