Here are my requests:
1) Make polluters pay for their emissions of greenhouse gases,
using the resulting revenues to promote clean energy and aid
low-income consumers. Limit sharply and verify any offsets. Do not
link our program to any states with weaker emission standards.

 2) Include stronger measures to reform land use planning in ways
that reduce vehicle miles traveled.

 3) Promote and enable Community Choice Electricity Aggregation
(CCA), which lets communities pool their buying power to generate
clean power.  This is especially important to me.  I think local
communities should have control of their utilities, not big
for-profit companies!  Utilities are required for our way of life
and should not be the subject of profit!

 4) Mandate that auto companies sell hundreds of thousands of
Zero-Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) by 2014, not the feeble proposed
level of 7500 ZEVs.  7500 ZEVs is ridiculous!  This especially
needs strengthening.

 5) Put Zero Waste front and center:  increase recycling by
businesses, mandate building facilities to compost all green
waste, and require producers to take responsibility for the
end-of-life disposition of their products.

 I am a Sierra Club activist. I have believed that Global Warming
is priority one for the state for over ten years.  Finally the
rest of the people agree!

Thank you for your attention.
