Comment | To the California Air Resources Board and Staff, The following are comments collected by New Voices Are Rising staff Myesha Williams and Jill Ratner from concerned residents. We are too young and we cannot keep being hospitalized. Keep our air clean! Angel from Oakland I live near truck routes and my siblings have asthma, just learning from this I learned how big of an impact they make. I can't wait for the day when we have clean air. I think it's time to make change for the future and for the better of future children. Ian Castillano - Oakland, California Medical bills are expensive. We cannot afford to send our friends, kids and siblings to the hospital. Keep the rule! -Margie from Oakland Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, Please support implementation of the CA. Diesel truck and bus regulation. Diesel pollution is particularly toxic and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Sincerely, Tina Stevens Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, I think the "California Diesel Truck & Bus Regulation" passed in 2008 was a great rule with important, vital impacts on health-especially children's health. Please defend and implement this rule for the citizens of the state! Thank You! Brian Hicks -Oakland, CA 94602 Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, Protect public health. Keep the Diesel Rule strong! Nancy Berlin - Los Angeles, CA 90039 Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, CARB-no se rajen- you can do it! Step up for all of us, not just industry. Pardon the pun, pero dale gas! Jose Gonzales - Modesto, 95355 Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, Please remember your mission and do the right and logical thing! Protect the air, protect the families that need it. it will pay. Analisa - Modesto, CA Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, I am writing to ask for your immediate and full implementation of the California Diesel Truck and Bus Regulation. The truck industry has had enough time and now it is time-finally-to have clean, healthy air. Sincerely, Kyle Livie - Oakland, CA Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, I am writing to express support for full implementation of the California Diesel Truck and Bus Regulation (2008). It is important and vital to clean up California's air. Please defend this rule. John Trinkle SF, CA 94554 Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, Our world is a better place because of the regulation passed in 2008 to clean up dirty diesel trucks. Defend this rule! Sincerely, Kathleen F. Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, Let us breathe clean air please! Implement the California Diesel Truck and Bus Regs passed in 2008. Dale Rudesill Chico, CA 95928 Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, Every morning I bike to a school garden in South San Francisco to teach youth how to grow their own food. I bike for 30 minutes behind large trucks heavily polluting the air only to arrive to a garden surrounded by even more pollution. Please save my lungs and my good! Ileana Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, I am writing to urge you to adopt the full implementation of the California Diesel Truck and Bus Regulation. Stop the delay. Sincerely, Juliette Anthony Lastly, 19 people individually signed onto the following comment postcard: Dear Members of the California Air Resources Board, I am writing to you to support immediate and full implementation of the California Diesel Truck and Bus Regulation in California as it was passed in 2008. It is one of the biggest steps to date in the effort to clean up California's dirty air and protect public health. The diesel truck industry has already received several extensions to implement this rule, leaving communities to battle diesel pollution linked to heart and lung disease, asthma attacks, cancer, and other health emergencies. I call on you to step up and defend this rule, stop the proposed delay and remember that this regulation protects communities, keeps children out of the hospital, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and saves lives. Thank you for your time and consideration. New Voices are Rising staff urge you to implement this rule immediately. Myesha Williams and Jill Ratner - Oakland residents and youth educators. |
