Present a plan for California to reduce and/or eliminate
its consumption of crude from the Amazon.
Commit California to new fuel efficiency standards and
expanded electrification of fleets that consume the most Amazon
oil. Expansion of electric vehicles broadly, and public
transportation goals to reduce domestic consumption equivalent to
Amazon oil import totals.
As extraction communities in California and Indigenous
communities both face ongoing oil spills and pollution, it’s
important that the state doesn’t rely on increasing domestic
production in order to reduce its use of Amazon crude. We need a
just and sustainable future that doesn’t involve fossil fuel
expansion at home or in the Amazon.
