Dear CARB Board members:
                        I believe that the plan to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions can be made even stronger. I hope you will
consider them during your meeting.
 
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 utility bills.
 
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 technology innovation. Limiting offsets will create more
clean-energy jobs, stimulating our state’s economy.

Increase the targets for local governments to reduce emissions
caused by poorly planned growth that drives up vehicle miles
travelled. 

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 you for your work on behalf of clean air for California.
