Subject | Comments on AB 32 Plan |
Comment | I would like to echo the comments submitted by Bay Localize regarding the AB32 scoping plan. In addition, I'd like to emphasize the need for stronger focus on agriculture and food transportation. As the nation's bread basket, the ag sector in California is one of the largest emitters of GHGs in the world. Reducing and, ultimately, eliminating our use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers will go a long way toward reducing our GHG emissions as well as improving air quality and sparing our water bodies an enormous amount of pollution. At the same time, California must be a leader in the local food movement--we need a statewide plan that carves the state into growing/consuming regions in which food is produced for local/regional consumption, thereby minimizing the number of food miles traveled. |
