<br />Orozco, Norma <br />From:Tristan M <tristan@edgecitynetworks.com> <br />Sent:Sunday, September 05, 2021 8:40 PM <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Santa Ana: Pass a climate and public health emergency resolution <br />Dear Mayor and City Council Members. <br /> <br />Please pass the resolution brought forward by Councilmember Lopez is a good first step and roadmap for actions our <br />community can take to resolve these pressing issues. OC and our community, our schools, our businesses, our children <br />are being impacted every day by pollution that impacts our health and cognative abilities, intense heat, accelerating <br />climate change. A greener economy is actually a more sustainable and prosperous economy that brings more jobs and <br />more opportunity to our city. <br /> <br />Fossil fuels don't just exacerbate climate change, but also poison people. Study after study has shown that extracting, <br />transporting, refining, and burning fossil fuels harms environmental and human health – and new evidence shows that <br />toxic air pollution from fossil fuels also makes people more vulnerable to poor outcomes from COVID. <br /> <br />Please please pass this resolution and commit to taking local action to explore policies that stop fossil fuel expansion, <br />speed up the clean energy transition, reduce local pollution, and empower our local community and economy. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />Tristan M, 92706 <br />1 <br /> <br />
