Comment
It is perhaps our greatest present responsibility to address with
all the force we can muster the global warming crisis that we have
created and that jeopardizes the health and well-being of everyone
on the planet now and for generations to come.  

California must take the lead in changing our land use and
development patterns, ensuring that we implement strong measures to
restrict sprawl and to highly promote and reward dense, compact,
mixed-use, transit-effective, resource-efficient, walkable, healthy
development.  

CARB must raise the land use target in the AB32 scoping plan from
the current paltry 5 MMT of CO2 equivalent to at least 14 MMT.

Business as usual got us into our current disastrous mode;
business as usual will not get us out, and we have no time to lose
in changing our ways.

California must commit the financial and technical resources and
the political will and example to help regions, local governments,
and transportation agencies to reach the 14 MMT target.  The
expense and effort required to achieve this goal will be minimal
compared to the expense and effort entailed by the consequences of
not meeting it.

We are counting on you to do what must be done now.  The world is
watching us.  It's time to change.

Thank you.
