Subject | oppose offsets - mine methane capture |
Comment | The Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN) is a strong supporter of AB32, but oppose the offsets program being developed by California. We need direct emissions reductions from GHG pollution, not market schemes for polluters to avoid their responsibility to emissions reduction. We work with hundreds of families living next to oil refineries and other big polluters and want to see those emissions reduced to improve the ailing health of our communities and to combat climate change. We see no benefits for offsets. We are also raising this opposition to offsets under the AB32 Environmental Justice Advisory Committee. Please cancel the proposed Mine Methane Capture Protocol. Offsets and carbon trading are a false solution to climate change and must be excluded from California’s Global Warming Solutions Act AB32. |
