| Comment | Dear CARB Board members:
Thank you for your hard work so far envisioning a plan to
implement the Global Warming Solutions Act.
I have a few requests that I believe will make this plan even
stronger. I hope you will consider them during your meeting. -
Please work to reduce the role of offsets in the Plan.
Providing too many offsets encourages continuing emissions in
low-income neighborhoods and in defenseless habitats, and weakens
the demand for clean energy technology innovation. Limiting offsets
will create more clean-energy jobs, stimulating our state�s
economy.-
Please increase the targets for local governments to reduce
emissions caused by poorly planned growth that drives up vehicle
miles travelled. -
Please require businesses to recycle their materials.
We have a chance to make California even better as we address one
of the worst crises our planet has ever faced. Strong CARB policies
will help our state�s residents realize some of the benefits we
will receive by taking on global warming pollution: reduced air
pollution, more clean-energy jobs, less waste and healthier
communities.
Thanks again for your work on behalf of clean air for California. |
