 Dear CARB Board members:
    
   
    
  We need to reduce greenhouse emissions. 

  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.

Larry Barker
