ents on board item act19. We all suffocate together...be part of
the solution. Listen to people not corporations..thank you
Here in California, its more important than ever that we move
forward with health-protecting, life-saving pollution protections
like the Advanced Clean Truck rule.
Weve long known that our air quality crisis leaves Californians
gasping for breath, and worsens and shortens lives.
In light of new research from Harvard that connects COVID-19
mortality to long-term exposure to air pollution, shifting heavy
polluters like diesel trucks in the state to zero emissions
solutions has taken on a new significance.
I urge you to stay the course and pass a strong Advanced Clean
Truck rule, as well as other transportation regulations that will
promote a zero-emissions future.
We cant afford to lose ground on key public health measures during
a public health crisis.
California has long proven that we can clean up our air and protect
our climate while stewarding a strong economy. Regulations like the
Advanced Clean Truck rule can spur thousands of new clean energy
jobs. They will play an important role in Californias economic
recovery while also saving everyday Californians from the economic
toll of lost workdays and the healthcare costs of pollution-related
illness.
Its time for everyone to do their part for Californias air and all
of our lungs as we face challenges to public health in the Golden
State like never before.
