Dear Chairman Nichols,

As a resident of the smog-choked San Gabriel Valley, I am writing
to thank you for your leadership on climate change policy and to
encourage the California Air Resources Board to establish the most
ambitious regional greenhouse gas reduction targets possible under
SB375.

The time has come for California to become serious about
sustainable development.  Establishing strong targets will strongly
support the creation of more livable communities that promote
healthier, less sedentary lifestyles.

Improving California’s land use and transportation planning
processes to reduce our dependency on driving offers a wide range
of benefits to our communities. Along with reducing our ongoing air
pollution-related public health crisis and cutting our
contributions to climate change, promoting opportunities for daily
physical activity will reduce the burdens faced by our children,
the elderly and others living with chronic illnesses like asthma,
obesity, diabetes and depression.

Please continue to support public health by establishing strong
regional greenhouse gas targets.
