Global Warming- Taking steps in California

5/11/2007 7:23:35 PM

Last year California passed the Global Warming Solutions Act to cut greenhouse gas pollution. The Solutions Act also requires the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to create Early Action Measures to reduce greenhouse gases and other pollution from the air we breathe.

In California, the goods movement industry (the trucks, ships, and trains that come to, and pass through California ports) creates about 30% of all smog-forming NOx, and 75% of all diesel Particulate Matter. This type of pollution is responsible for 2400 premature deaths, higher cancer rates and respiratory disease across California. Diesel Particulate Matter is also a greater contributor to climate change than the most well known greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.

Shockingly, the pollution from the goods movement industry is being left out of the Early Action Measures.

Tell CARB not to leave pollution from the goods movement industry out of their plans for improving air quality and fighting global warming.
