| Comment | To whom it may concern:
In your efforts to implement a comprehensive AB32 Scoping Plan, I
urge you to consider the following:
1. During plan develpment, consult with leaders of the California
Convergence (see http://www.californiaconvergence.org/), whose
goals to promote access to physical activity converge with climate
change goals.
2. Consider requiring every community to establish a standard of
the distance each child needs to walk to reach a safe place to play
(parks, etc.) If we create greater access to parks closer to where
people live, this will reduce driving time and emissions expended
to get to these places, and increase access to physical activity.
3. To accomplish said standard (2 above), provide incentives to
schools and cities/counties to enter into joint use agreements.
4. Repeat: Offer incentives for joint use agreements to expand
opportunities for physical activity, especially when it comes to
existing schools (not new schools to be built).
Thanks, Robin Dean
