Comment | Hello, Ms. Nichols and California Air Pollution Control District Board Members. Large cargo ships traveling off our coast produce significant GHG and toxic air emissions that impact our coastal communities. Ship strikes also pose a threat to whales. Slowing down cargo ships meets multiple objectives in your Draft Cap-and-Trade Investment Plan including: reducing GHG emissions and other air pollutants, improving public health, and better protecting whales. I support including vessel speed reduction in your Final Plan as a priority for funding and request Cap-and-Trade money be directed to the Vessel Speed Reduction Initiative. I --and many people I know-- will appreciate very much your taking action to protect whales, to protect our clean air, and to help make a difference in combating climate change ASAP. |
