    Dear CARB Board members:

   Thank you for your hard work so far envisioning a plan to
implement the Global Warming Solutions Act.

   I hope you will auction off all emission allowances. Program
revenues should go toward GHG reduction programs, such as clean
technologies, green jobs, and aid for low-income consumers and
small businesses to reduce their utility bills. 
   I also hope you will work to reduce the role of offsets in the
Plan. Providing too many offsets encourages continuing emissions in
low-income neighborhoods and 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 and   require businesses to recycle their materials. 
    Strong CARB policies will help us reduce air pollution, and
create more clean-energy jobs, less waste and healthier
communities.

   Thanks again for your work on behalf of clean air for
California.

I.B. Hewitt
