Subject: Stop Proposed Rice Cultivation Offset Protocol
Comment:
To the California Air Resources Board;

Please cancel the Rice Cultivation Projects Compliance Offset
Protocol and all existing and proposed Compliance Offset Protocols
under the Cap-and-Trade Regulation. Carbon offsets and carbon
trading are false solutions to climate change, it will not solve
the problems rather creating permit to polluting for big industries
and allowing states to do Business as Usual.

GRAIN's research has shown that a sustained focus on peasant-based
agroecological practices oriented toward restoring organic matter
to soils could capture 24-30% of the current global annual
greenhouse gas emissions.Turning rice fields into carbon sink will
only drive us further from the real solutions and destroy the
source of livelihood for million of people, thus it must be
excluded from California’s Global Warming Solutions Act AB32.


Sincerely,
Kartini Samon
