| Comment | Dear Air Resources Board,
I urge you to adopt a strong global warming scoping plan for
California. This will both slow global warming and reduce smog and
other dangerous air pollutants that cause illness and death. A
strong plan will set the standard for national and international
action. I also urge you to include a stronger focus on measures to
reduce emissions from driving which contribute both the largest
percentage of greenhouse gases and dangerous air pollutants in
California. Therefore, the plan should include a much more
aggressive statewide goal for reducing vehicle trips and measures
to promote progressive action by local governments. To reach the
state's targets for greenhouse gas reduction targets, the plan
should additionally include a strong goal and additional regulatory
measures for reducing pollution from industrial sources such as
petroleum refineries and cement manufacturing facilities. It is
also critical that any measures taken to reduce greenhouse gases
contain do not increase hot spots of pollution in communities
already impacted by multiple sources of pollution.
Sincerely,
Marisa Espinosa
