The Mountain Lion Foundation urges you to mandate much tighter
limits on sprawl which creates the necessity for longer commutes. 
Even though we all continue to push mass transit, the fact is even
those buses and trains contribute carbon as well -- both in their
manufacture and in their operations.  

We need to be mandating communities that promote affordable
housing where people actually work.  We need to locate schools,
grocery stores and other amenities within walking distance of
homes.  We need to create walking and bicycle friendly
communities. We need communities near farmland and open space so
that food need not travel so far.  

From our point of view, land use planning is probably the single
most important aspect of reducing carbon load, and your plan
should reflect that.  

Please re-think and re-write this section of your plan to
implement AB 32.
