Comment:
I am all for CARB's recommending implementation of mandated energy standards, energy efficiency measures, and clean vehicle requirements. But I feel more must be done if we are going to attain the major changes needed to prevent catastrophic changes to our climate. That is why I suggest including in your Final Scoping Plan steps to · Reduce vehicle miles traveled · Speed up production of zero-emission vehicles · Boost recycling rates · Auction off any emissions permits · Limit offsets · Minimize air quality impacts in our most-polluted communities. · I want to end my own production of GHGs. Help me by creating a Battery Electric Vehicle Partnership. · Please call for fast-tracking regional mass transit infrastructure, including Bus Rapid Transit programs (especially on existing freeway HOV lanes), expansion of Amtrak service, high-speed passenger rail, electrified commercial transport, and wise locations for transit station locations in neighborhoods. · Utilize the powerful carbon reduction potential of zero waste---- reducing waste by design in manufacturing process, then reusing, recycling or composting products. · Offsets from sinks, such as planting trees or avoiding tree cut-downs, should not be allowed, since they are too difficult to measure and often under-perform. Thank you very much for all your hard work.
