The Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN) is a strong
supporter of AB32, but oppose the offsets program being developed
by California. We need direct emissions reductions from GHG
pollution, not market schemes for polluters to avoid their
responsibility to emissions reduction. We work with hundreds of
families living next to oil refineries and other big polluters and
want to see those emissions reduced to improve the ailing health of
our communities and to combat climate change. We see no benefits
for offsets. We are also raising this opposition to offsets under
the AB32 Environmental Justice Advisory Committee.

Please cancel the proposed Mine Methane Capture Protocol. Offsets
and carbon trading are a false solution to climate change and must
be excluded from California’s Global Warming Solutions Act AB32.
