      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 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 utilitybills.    
-         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 technologyinnovation. Limiting offsets
will create more clean-energy jobs, stimulating ourstate'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.
