Dear Chairman Nichols,

On behalf of Friends of the Earth, we applaud your efforts to
reduce air pollution and to encourage the growth of sustainable
California communities through implementation of SB 375.  We
understand that CARB will soon release draft regional greenhouse
gas reduction targets and we urge you to take this opportunity to
adopt the strongest possible targets under SB 375. 

SB 375 offers a comprehensive approach to reducing greenhouse gas
emissions, improving public health, and encouraging alternative
forms of transportation through innovations in land use, community
development, and public transportation.  California is home to some
of the worst air pollution in America—a result of poor planning
which has encouraged sprawl instead of smart development.  This
trend must be reversed and we urge you to adopt the most ambitious
GHG reductions possible via SB 375.

Under your leadership, we can take the necessary steps now to move
California towards a more sustainable and healthy future. 

Thank you for your consideration of our concerns.  A full letter
with signature is attached for your convenience.

Sincerely,

Danielle Fugere
Director, California Government Affairs
Friends of the Earth
