I urge you to adopt the following:
- Rein in rogue
refineries. Commit California to a policy/regulatory
agenda that ensures that California refineries are not sourcing
crude from regions where there are Indigenous rights violations or
from regions where new oil drilling in the Amazon is being
planned.
- Don't punt your
climate impacts to communities in the Amazon.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
EVs broadly, and public transportation goals to reduce domestic
consumption equivalent to Amazon oil import totals.
My family and I are deeply concerned about the environmental and
climate crises that threaten our known ways of life and the
biodiversity and ecosystems that support us. We are also
concerned for people in the Amazon who are or may be negatively
impacted by American consumers.
