| Comment | California Air Resources Board
Dear Gov. Schwarzenegger and CARB Members,
As a resident of California who is concerned about air quality,
I'm writing to encourage you to support a strong regulation to
reduce pollution from construction equipment and vote in favor
of the regulation at the May 25th CARB hearing.
Pollution from construction equipment burdens all of us, not
only through diminished quality of life but also through health
costs and lost school and work days. Implementing the proposed
measure to reduce pollution from construction and other off-road
equipment will prevent an estimated 4,000 premature deaths by
2030 and save billions of dollars in health costs and lost
productivity.
We cannot afford to wait any longer to tackle the public health
threat from construction and other off-road equipment. I urge
you to adopt strong clean construction standards without further
delay!
Sincerely,
Ethan Gold
