From our
blog:
The ARB just posted the
final draft of the AB 32 Scoping Plan. The recommendations for the Waste
and Recycling sector are completely inadequate and not a sufficient
improvement over the previous draft. While the plan acknowledged that
there may be significant greenhouse gas savings available from recycling,
it failed to provide discrete actions for meeting the AB 32 goals through
increased recycling.
Strategies to increase
recycling, such as a mandatory commercial recycling program, would help
the state achieve its AB 32 targets in a cost-effective manor, provide
significant co-benefits, and help stimulate economic growth through green
job creation. There is no justification for California to pass up this
?low-hanging fruit? in its global warming efforts. We strongly urge the
ARB and CIWMB to revise this element of the scoping plan before final
adoption.
