Comment | without knowing the effect of our steps, why should we take them? Using compact fluorescents and insulating our homes may eventually lower energy bills a bit, but many other necessary steps such as recycling or driving less give us little if any direct positive feedback. It’s hard to lower your carbon footprint without some concrete clear sign that you’re doing good. To give us such a signal, CARB ought to create a website and where individuals and families could record the changes they’re voluntarily making in home insulation, windows, appliances, roof color, shading, compact fluorescents, recycling, reducing vehicle travel and other emission-slashing activities. This statewide electronic registry could report back via numbers and graphics the mounting total of greenhouse gas emissions curbed. Such evidence of meaningful contribution will motivate us to do more, and to urge our friends and family to participate. Further, CARB should create a website and other public materials that chart graph or in other ways gives evidence of GHG emissions curbed by industry, government and other sectors by the measures mandated by AB 32. That way the public can see and be motivated by the progress we are making as a state. |
