Subject: Comments on CARB Webinar
Comment:
There was mention in the webinar if there are Dairy Farms that could be grounds for testing of food additives on GHG emissions; I have had discussions within the Procurement Division of DGS as to a pilot program of implementing feed additives to Dairy Farms that are operated by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). As an employee of the Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) we have been tasked with implementing procurements so as to reduce GHG emissions to meet N-19-19 expectations and in doing so have collaboratively worked with CalRecycle on purchase of compostable paper products (food containers). I feel that we too can collaboratively work with CARB and CDCR on a pilot program with exemptions for purchasing commercially available seaweed additives (some products available in Australia, Great Britain, and China) for the testing of reductions of Methane in Enteric fermentation and provide further data to UC Davis in their research endeavors.
