<br />Flores, Dora <br />From:Greg Camphire <gac37@hotmail.com> <br />Sent:Tuesday, March 02, 2021 11:03 AM <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Santa Ana: Pass a climate emergency <br />Dear Santa Ana City Council and Mayor Sarmiento, <br /> <br />Fossil fuels are one of the most dangerous & imminent threats to our planet. Santa Ana is just one place that is suffering <br />the inordinate effects of this pollution, as proven in multiple scientific studies of our air, land, and water. New evidence <br />also demonstrates that toxic air pollution from fossil fuels also makes people more vulnerable to poor outcomes from <br />COVID. <br /> <br />Fossil fuels, and the deliberate concealment and misinformation about them from fossil fuel companies, are rapidly <br />killing all life on our planet. <br /> <br />Please pass a climate emergency resolution that includes a SAFE commitment and an endorsement of the global call for <br />a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. Passing this resolution will demonstrate your intent to keep Santa Ana healthy and <br />make our communities into leaders in the most important high-stakes fight of our time: man-made climate change. <br /> <br />You must commit to local actions that create policies ending fossil fuel expansion and speeding up the clean energy <br />transition from an economy that exploits natural resources to a culture that regenerates clean energy while creating <br />viable jobs. <br /> <br />Learn more about the SAFE Cities movement at https://www.stand.earth/safe and view a sample climate emergency <br />template with language demonstrating intent to pass SAFE policies and endorse the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty <br />here: https://www.stand.earth/SAFEtemplate. <br /> <br />As a member of Santa Ana communities, I’m demanding that you be a leader on this critical issue. Please pledge to pass <br />a resolution that commits our community to explore SAFE policies and endorses the global call for a Fossil Fuel Non- <br />Proliferation Treaty. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />Greg Camphire, 92701 <br />1 <br />
