| Comment | We are pleased to see that the report recognizes the important role that recycling and composting can play in mitigating California’s GHG. We especially lend our support to measures J, K, L, M and N contained in Chapter 4 on Waste Reduction, Recycling and Resource Management. These measures are critical to supporting and expanding the state’s existing recycling and composting infrastructure, and are relatively low cost, environmentally sound methods of achieving greenhouse gas reductions. More specifically, we are highly supportive of the following measures: • Development of recycling and composting protocols for quantifying and reporting emission reductions. • Support for commercial recycling • Removing barriers to composting.. • Phase out diversion credit for green waste used as alternative daily cover at landfills • Reducing agricultural emissions through the use of compost |
