Subject | Please make land use a priority |
Comment | On November 22nd, our Cool Cities campaign convened a workshop in conjunction with Greenbelt Alliance and the Planning and Conservation League. A key message of that workshop was that land use planning is critical to our success in the fight against global warming. The best way for CARB to help build climate-friendly communities is to pass a larger emission reduction target for the land use sector in the AB-32 Scoping Plan. A higher target means that growth will be directed in ways that cut greenhouse gas emissions by lowering vehicle miles traveled, increasing opportunities for walking and biking, and making transit accessible for more people. The Board members meet on Thursday morning to approve the Scoping Plan and make any final changes. It looks like it will be a very close vote. Make your voice count by sending the enclosed letter to CARB and letting them know that land use reform is an important tool in the solution to climate change! |
