I am writing to Express my concern that
California consumes nearly 50% of all oil exports from the Amazon
globally (nearly 1 in 9 gallons pumped in-state on average).
i Call on the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) because don’t want to be complicit in
driving new oil drilling in the Amazon and that they need to
regulate refineries’ crude sources and volumes.
i am Asking CARB to
require California refineries to ensure that they are not sourcing
crude oil from regions where there are human rights violations and
to require refineries to ensure that they will not source crude
from areas of new drilling in the Amazon.

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
California's 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.
