Dear California Air Resources
Board:
I am writing to express my concern that
California consumes nearly 50% of all oil exports from the Amazon
globally (nearly 1 in 9 gallons pumped in-state on average).
I don’t want to be complicit in driving new oil drilling in
the Amazon. Please regulate refineries’ crude sources
and volumes. Please require California refineries to ensure
that they are not sourcing crude oil from regions where there are
human rights violations or from areas of new drilling in the
Amazon.
Sincerely,
Shalomar Loving
