Dear CA Air Resources Board,
We are literally
creating an inhospitable planet small actions aren't enough. I
won't be voting for Gavin Newsom again if more isn't done NOW.
Climate pollution from gas-powered cars and trucks makes up
40% of total greenhouse gas emissions in California. These vehicles
are a massive driver of the climate emergency, devastating our
state with deadlier, more damaging wildfires, heat waves, and
drought.
We urge you to adopt strong clean car rules
that require:
• 100% zero-emission vehicle sales by
2030.
• 7% annual pollution cuts from gas-powered cars in
the meantime.
• Mandatory equity commitments to ensure
that communities most affected by pollution benefit from electric
vehicles first and foremost.
This transition is a
tremendous opportunity to create family-supporting, high-road jobs
for Californians. We urge you to seize this moment and adopt
nation-leading clean car standards that slash climate pollution,
ensure equity, and promote good jobs.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
Evan Leibman
Oakland, CA 94610
