| Comment | I would like to echo the comments submitted by Bay Localize
regarding the AB32 scoping plan. In addition, I'd like to
emphasize the need for stronger focus on agriculture and food
transportation. As the nation's bread basket, the ag sector in
California is one of the largest emitters of GHGs in the world.
Reducing and, ultimately, eliminating our use of chemical
pesticides and fertilizers will go a long way toward reducing our
GHG emissions as well as improving air quality and sparing our
water bodies an enormous amount of pollution.
At the same time, California must be a leader in the local food
movement--we need a statewide plan that carves the state into
growing/consuming regions in which food is produced for
local/regional consumption, thereby minimizing the number of food
miles traveled.
