Comment | Dear CARB Board Member: Thank you for your consideration of my following comments to implement the Global Warming Solutions Act. - Offsets are a critical component of the Plan. The immediate reduction of CO2 will provide global benefits. Limiting offsets could delay emissions reductions by limiting the incentive for innovation in the marketplace. - Local government targets should be respectful of differences in land use patterns and transit opportunities throughout the State. Performance based targets provide local governments the flexibility to engage the private sector and new development in entrepreneurial solutions to achieve the reductions defined by AB 32. - Require all existing residences and businesses to recycle. This will leverage the efforts made by new development with efforts from existing development built prior to current recycling and energy efficiency codes. Only by all Californians sharing the responsibility of reducing green house gas emissions and setting an example for the nation and the world will our State-wide efforts truly result in global benefit. Thanks again for your work on behalf of clean air for California. Stephen M. Haase, AICP |
