| Comment | Dear Chairman Nichols,
As a 75 year old sufferer from bronchiectesis due to pollution in
the air, I am writing to thank you for your leadership on climate
change policy and to encourage the California Air Resources Board
to support public health by supporting regional greenhouse gas
reduction targets possible under SB375.
Establishing strong targets will clearly signal the need for a
departure from urban sprawl and support more sustainable
communities throughout California. WE NEED HEALTHIER, WALKABLE,
BIKING, AND TRANSIT ALTERNATIVES TO DRIVING.
Along with reducing our ongoing air pollution-related public
health crisis and cutting our contributions to climate change,
promoting opportunities for daily physical activity will reduce the
burdens faced by our children, the elderly and others living with
chronic illnesses like asthma, obesity, diabetes and depression.
Please continue to support public health by establishing strong
regional greenhouse gas targets.
