Dear CARB Board members:
 
Thank you for your hard work so far envisioning a plan to
implement the Global Warming Solutions Act.
 
On behalf of myself and my family, I hope you will consider the
following ideas carefully.
 
-         Please auction off all emission allowances. Program
revenues should go toward GHG reduction programs, such as clean
technologies, green jobs, and aid for low-income consumers and
small businesses to reduce their utility bills. 
-         Please work to reduce the role of offsets in the Plan. 
Limiting offsets will create more clean-energy jobs, stimulating
our state’s economy.
-           Please increase the targets for local governments to
reduce emissions caused by poorly planned growth that drives up
vehicle miles travelled.
-          Please require businesses to recycle their materials. 
Strong CARB policies will help our state’s residents realize some
of the benefits we will receive by taking on global warming
pollution: reduced air pollution, more clean-energy jobs, less
waste and healthier communities.
 
Thank you for your work on behalf of clean air for California.
