Subject | Stop Proposed Rice Cultivation Offset Protocol |
Comment |
To the California Air Resources Board; Please cancel the Rice Cultivation Projects Compliance Offset Protocol and all existing and proposed Compliance Offset Protocols under the Cap-and-Trade Regulation. Carbon offsets and carbon trading are false solutions to climate change, it will not solve the problems rather creating permit to polluting for big industries and allowing states to do Business as Usual. GRAIN's research has shown that a sustained focus on peasant-based agroecological practices oriented toward restoring organic matter to soils could capture 24-30% of the current global annual greenhouse gas emissions.Turning rice fields into carbon sink will only drive us further from the real solutions and destroy the source of livelihood for million of people, thus it must be excluded from California’s Global Warming Solutions Act AB32. Sincerely, Kartini Samon GRAIN |
