Dear CARB,  
 
The key challenge of our time is Global warming. Meeting this
challenge requires fundamental changes in the way we grow our
communities. In the AB 32 Scoping Plan, I would like to see CARB
increase the land use target to 11-14 metric tons (MMT) of CO2
equivalent from 5 million MMT. 

The higher target and the benefits of dense, mixed-use development
are achievable with policies California is already considering. 

Setting a higher target for the land use sector will signal to the
world that new land use patterns are a high priority in the fight
against global warming. 

A higher target should be coupled with a commitment to provide
financial resources, technical assistance, and other support to
help regions, local governments, and transportation agencies
achieve the target. Together, we can do it!

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Lisane Drouin
