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!
