Hello,
I’m
writing today to urge you to commit California to a
policy/regulatory agenda that ensures that our state’s
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. As a concerned citizen I’m
calling for a plan for California to reduce and/or eliminate its
consumption of crude from the Amazon and to commit California to new fuel
efficiency standards and expanded electrification of
fleets. I
find it very concerning that California consumes nearly 50% of all
oil exports from the Amazon globally (nearly 1 in 9 gallons pumped
in-state on average). Please take meaningful
action to help California be an agent of change as it regards the
environment and the fight against climate change.
Regards,
Justin D
