Dear Board:
Protect Wild Petaluma works to protect the most sensistive and
Climate-valuable natural resources of our city, Petaluma,
California. Our high-value natural systems such as
Wetlands-River-Forest habitat areas must be protected and preserved
as complete "natural systems." Their function benefits are greater
than the sum of their parts, including water, soil, animals,
foliage, and fungi.
It is critcal that synthetic persticides be included in our
Climate Change Scoping Plan. Pesticides are a majorly significant
peice of our Climate -- namely, air and water cleaning and cooling
via carbon sequestration.
Synthetic pesticide usage in our Petaluma Watershed (we are a
valley) flow distances by water, air, and soil, and cause damage to
the natural system that critically is our very best (and free!)
defense against Climate Change.
Please address the complete Climate Change picture by including
pesticide usage in the Plan.
Thank you very much,
Protect Wild Petaluma
Petaluma, CA 94952
