YOU MADAM CHAIR AND COMMITTEE
MEMBERS. WANT TO THANK THE
COMMITTEE STAFFER WORKING WITH
MY TEAM IN THE BILL STAKEHOLDERS
. ON A MINI AND ACTUALLY
IMPROVING THIS BILL. REALLY
APPRECIATE THE COOPERATION. MY
TEAM IS. BEEN IN ONGOING
CONVERSATIONS ALSO WITH CAL
RECYCLE TO FINE TUNE THE BILL.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS TO EXPAND
THE BILL'S ELIGIBILITY TO
INCLUDE COLLECTION PROGRAMS FOR
BIOMASS RECYCLING INCLUDING
COMPOSTING AND MULCHING. I WOULD
ALSO LIKE TO THANK SENATOR
NIELSEN ASSEMBLY MEMBERS
GALLAGHER AND PATTERSON FOR CO
AUTHORING THE MEASURE AS WELL.
AB NINETEEN FIFTY SIX WOULD
CREATE A FIVE YEAR PILOT PROGRAM
FOR RURAL COUNTIES. TO OFFER
COLLECTION DAYS FOR THE REMOVAL
OF LOCALIZED ACCESS WOODY
BIOMASS MATERIAL. THE BILL
PROVIDES OPTIONS FOR ROLE
RESIDENTS TO DISPOSE OF THEIR
EXCESS BIOMASS MATERIALS. WE
INTEND TO USE THE GIGI R. F.
FUNDS TO FUND THIS PROGRAM IS
THERE'S A CLEAR NEXUS BETWEEN
THE PILOT PROGRAM AND A
MEASURABLE REDUCTION IN
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. THE
CURRENT PROBLEM EACH YEAR ROLE
CALIFORNIANS TAKE THEIR
OVERGROWTH AND PILE IT UP AND
BURNING. MANY RESORT TO THIS
METHOD OF DISPOSAL SIMPLY
BECAUSE THERE ARE NO OTHER WASTE
TO REMOVE THE MATERIAL FROM ONCE
PROPERTY. THIS IS BOTH A FIRE
RISK IN ENVIRONMENTALLY DAMAGING
. THIS BILL MOVES TO REDUCE RISK
OF WILDFIRES. INCREASED
FREQUENCY OF SEVERITY OF
WILDFIRES IN CALIFORNIA. OVER
THE LAST DECADE SADLY IT ONLY
TAKES ONE CARELESS NEIGHBOR IN
THEIR BURN PILE TO POTENTIALLY
CAUSE A DISASTER THIS BILL
ALLOWS FOR THE SAFE REMOVAL OF.
WOOD AND TO BREEZE. THIS BILL IS
MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
BIOMASS IS A CLEAR ALTERNATIVE
TO OPEN PILE BURNING RESULTING
IN FAR FEWER EMISSIONS WHILE
ALSO GENERATING ENERGY FOR THE
NEARBY COMMUNITIES. THIS BILL IS
A COMMONSENSE SOLUTION. THE BILL
WOULD ALLOW COUNTIES TO HOLD
WHILE MASS COLLECTION DAY SO
THAT LOCAL RESIDENTS CAN DROP
OFF THEIR BIOMASS MATERIAL FREE
OF CHARGE. SIMPLY PUT AB
NINETEEN FIFTY SIX PROVIDE A
SAFE OPTION FOR ROLE
CALIFORNIANS TO KEEP THEIR
PROPERTIES CLEAR OF FIRE FUELS
WHILE ALSO REDUCING OVERALL
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. IN
CLOSING. WE HAVE NO OPPOSITION
TO THE BILL. AND AGAIN ARE HAPPY
TO TAKE. THE COMMITTEES
AMENDMENTS. THANK YOU MISTER

SIGNIFICANT EMISSIONS ASSOCIATED
WITH OPEN BURNING OR NATURAL

FEW BILLS LEFT I BELIEVE WE'RE
READY TO HEAR FROM MISS
FRIEDMAN. FOR ITEM TO AB TWENTY
TWENTY SIX.
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR AND MEMBERS
I WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOUR
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR YOUR WORK ON
THIS BILL I A M. SAID ACCEPTING
THE SUGGESTION AMENDMENT ON PAGE
SIX OF THE ANALYSIS THAT
CORRECTS A DRAFTING ERROR.
GLOBALLY THE E. COMMERCE
INDUSTRY USES ALMOST THREE
BILLION POUNDS OF PLASTIC
PACKAGING- AND THAT WAS JUST IN
TWENTY TWENTY AND OF THAT E.
COMMERCE BUSINESSES IN THE U. S.
GENERATED SIX HUNDRED MILLION
POUNDS OF PLASTIC PACKAGING
WASTE AND THAT IS PURE WASTE
THAT'S NOT USED BY ANYBODY FOR
ANY REASON EXCEPT TO RECEIVE THE
SHIPMENT OF BY CONSUMER GOODS.
LAST YEAR CONSUMERS SPENT EIGHT
HUNDRED AND SIXTY ONE BILLION
DOLLARS ONLINE WITH U. S.
MERCHANTS BUT WAS UP 44% OVER
TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN WITH
ALMOST A THIRD OF THE WORLD'S
POPULATION NOW BUYING ONLINE THE
AMOUNT OF PLASTIC PACKAGING
GENERATED IS ESTIMATED TO MORE
THAN DOUBLE BY TWENTY TWENTY
SIX. THE STAGGERING GROWTH
EXCEEDED TO OUTLAST THE CODE
NINETEEN PANDEMIC IS CREATING AN
UNSUSTAINABLE WAVE OF SINGLE USE
PACKAGES AND PACKAGING. ALMOST
ALL OF WHICH IS HEADED DIRECTLY
TO A LANDFILL OR TO INCINERATION
OR OUT INTO THE ENVIRONMENT
WHERE IT POLLUTES OUR WATER WAYS
AND PRODUCED POLLUTES OUR LANDS
AL LIKE MANY OF YOU I ALSO BUY
THINGS ONLINE SOMETIMES AND I AM
ALWAYS APPALLED AT THE AMOUNT OF
PLASTIC PACKAGING THAT COMES
WITH SOME PRODUCTS. NOW SOME
RETAIL SERVER RETAILERS HAVE
GOTTEN A LOT BETTER AND I'VE
SEEN MANY OF THEM STARTING TO
ELIMINATE PLASTIC PACKAGING
ALTOGETHER BUT MANY DON'T SEEM
TO HAVE GOTTEN THE MEMO AND I
THINK ALL OF US HAVE HAD THE
EXPERIENCE OF BUYING SOMETHING
THAT'S NOT FRAGILE NOT BREAKABLE
BUT YET HAS COME WITH THE WAVES
OF PLASTIC. FILM WHICH IS NOT
JUST NOT RECYCLABLE BY MY CITY
BUT WHICH CONSTANTLY CLOGS UP
THEIR MACHINERY. SO THIS LEADS
TO OVERFLOWING TRASH BINS WHICH
IS TAKEN TO LANDFILLS AND MANY
OF YOU LIKE ME COME FROM LOCAL
GOVERNMENT. AND THE PEOPLE WHO
ARE PAYING FOR THAT ARE NOT JUST
THOSE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BUT THE
RATE PAYERS EVEN IF YOU DO NOT
ORDER ANYTHING ONLINE AT ALL.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE PAYING MORE
FOR YOUR TRASH BECAUSE OF ALL
THE PEOPLE IN YOUR COMMUNITY
THAT ARE BECAUSE OF ALL OF THAT
NON RECYCLABLE MATERIAL. FILLING
UP YOUR LANDFILL CLOSING YOUR
LANDFILL BEING HAULED WITH
DIESEL GARBAGE TRUCKS FOR YOUR
COMMUNITY. FOR NOTHING NOW WE
KNOW THAT IT'S FOR NOTHING AND
WE KNOW WE CAN DO BETTER BECAUSE
THERE ARE PERFECTLY GOOD
ALTERNATIVES TO SINGLE USE
PLASTIC PACKAGING ALREADY
EXISTING ALREADY BEING
IMPLEMENTED HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
IN FACT INNOVATIVE PACKAGING
START UPS LIKE LIME LOOP AND
MUSHROOM PACKAGING ARE BASED. OR
ACTIVE RIGHT HERE IN CALIFORNIA
IS HOME GROWN INDUSTRIES. AB
TWENTY TWENTY SIX WILL REDUCE
THE UNNECESSARY AND UNACCEPTABLE
AMOUNT OF SINGLE USE PLASTIC USE
AN E. COMMERCE MARKETPLACE. IT
WILL SPUR THIS INDUSTRY IT WILL
SPUR THE RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT IT WILL ALSO STOP
PENALIZING THE GOOD ACTORS. AND
MAKING THEM BEAR THE BRUNT OF
THE BAD ACTORS IT'S GONNA PUT
EVERYONE ON A LEVEL PLAYING
FIELD SO THAT ALL OF. THE ALL
THESE COMPANIES HAVE TO ACT MORE
RESPONSIBLY SPECIFICALLY AB
TWENTY TWENTY SIX WILL REQUIRE A
SHIFT TO NON PLASTIC PLASTIC
PACKAGING THAT IS RECYCLABLE.
COMPOSTABLE OR REUSABLE AN
ACCEPTABLE IN CURBSIDE BINS. AND
EXTEND THE SUNSET ON EGGS UNDER
EXISTING REQUIREMENT THAT
ESTABLISHES THE- THAT PROVIDES
CARRY OUT AND DURABLE PLASTIC
BAGS PROVIDE A COLLECTION BIN
FOR THE PURPOSE OF COLLECTING
AND RECYCLING THOSE BAGS. AB
TWENTY TWENTY SIX WILL REDUCE
THE MANY HARMFUL IMPACTS OF
UNNECESSARY SINGLE USE PLASTIC
PACKAGING BY PHASING OUT THE USE
OF MOST SINGLE USE PLASTIC FILMS
AND EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE
E-COMMERCE PACKAGING FOR ONLINE
RETAIL PURCHASES. TESTIFYING IN

PACKAGING FROM ONLINE SHOPPING
AND A SURVEY CONDUCTED LAST
SUMMER REVEALED THAT 71% OF THE
AMAZON CUSTOMERS IN THE U. S.
WOULD USE PLASTIC FREE ALTERNATE
PACKAGING OFFERED THE GOOD NEWS
IS THAT PRACTICAL ALTERNATIVES
TO SINGLE USE PLASTIC FILM AND
POLYSTYRENE PACKAGING ARE
AVAILABLE. IN JUNE TWENTY TWENTY
AMAZON INDIA ANNOUNCED THEY HAD
ACHIEVED A 1100% SUCCESSFUL
TRANSITION AWAY FROM SINGLE USE
PLASTIC PACKAGING LESS THAN A
YEAR AFTER THEIR DECLARATION TO
ACT ACCORDING TO NEW RECENT NEWS
ACCOUNTS AMAZON PLANS TO
ELIMINATE SINGLE USE PLASTIC
PACKAGING IN GERMANY. ONE OF THE
COMPANY'S LARGEST MARKET.
COMMERCE PRIOR AND CURRENT
ACTIONS TO ADDRESS IT SINGLE
PLASTICS. DEMONSTRATES WHAT IS
POSSIBLE IN PLASTIC REDUCTION IS
A PRIORITY. ADDITIONALLY THERE
ARE U. S. MANUFACTURERS TO
PRODUCE ALTERNATIVES TO PLASTIC
CUSHIONING AND VOID FILL THAT
PROTECTED DURING SHIPMENT AND
THOSE ALTERNATIVES CAN AND
SHOULD BE USED MORE WIDELY.
CALIFORNIA MUSTELIDAE AB TWENTY
TWENTY SIX COMES AS SALES IN THE
E. COMMERCE MARKETPLACE HAVE

ALONG WITH THE SHANNON
ENVIRONMENT CALIFORNIA. WRITTEN
LEGISLATION WILL HELP ADDRESS
THE GLOBAL PLASTICS CRISIS BY
PHASING OUT THE UNNECESSARY AND
UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF SINGLE
USE PLASTIC. USED TO SHIP ONLINE
PURCHASES AND INTO CALIFORNIA.
IT'S ESTIMATED THAT TWO DUMP
TRUCKS WORTH OF PLASTIC AND UP
IN OUR ENVIRONMENT EVERY MINUTE.
BOTH CLASSIC DOES NOT GO AWAY
INSTEAD IT BREAKS UP INO
SMALLER PIECES. THAT HAVE BEEN
DISCOVERED IN EVERY CORNER OF
THE GLOBE. READ GOOD IN THE
OCEAN AND HARMING WILDLIFE.
MICROPLASTICS AND EVEN FOUND
INSIDE OUR OWN FOOD AND
BEVERAGES POTENTIALLY EXPOSING
AT THE HAZARDOUS COMPOUNDS AND
ADDITIVES. BUT THE PACKAGING
ADDED TO ONLINE PURCHASES DURING
SHIPMENT INCLUDING CLASSIC
MAILING ENVELOPES- PILLOWS
BUBBLE WRAP AND EXPANDED
POLYSTYRENE ARE A SUBSTANTIAL
CONTRIBUTOR TO THE CRISIS. ALL
OF THE PLASTIC PACKAGING THE
DISCARDED IMMEDIATELY AFTER
PACKAGES OPENED AND IS EITHER
REUSED OR RECYCLED. DYSPLASTIC
INSTEAD BECOME PLAN FILLED
BURNED OR ENTERED OUR
ENVIRONMENT WORKING PROCESS OF
THE PUTTING FOR GENERATIONS.
ACTUALLY WITH THE GROWTH OF
ONLINE SHOPPING WE KNOW
CONSUMERS WANT ALTERNATIVE
PACKAGING THAT DOESN'T POLLUTE
OUR ENVIRONMENT OUR PUBLIC
HEALTH OR COFFEE RESOURCES CLEAN
UP. AB TWENTY TWENTY SIX IN
PORTLAND OREGON BELT AIMED AT
ADDRESSING THE PROBLEMATIC WASTE
STREAMS AND WE THANK ASSEMBLY
MEMBER FRIEDMAN FOR HER
LEADERSHIP ASSEMBLY MEMBER STONE
FOR CO AUTHORING AND HER DRIVER.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT WE
HAVE UP TO WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION- THAT WILL BE
TESTIFYING. ON THE PHONE OVER
THE PHONE. OF FIRST IS ADAM
REGULARLY FROM THE CALIFORNIA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE- ARE YOU
HERE IN PERSON OKAY PLEASE GO
AHEAD. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AT
A RALLY ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
AND RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION TO AB
TWENTY TWENTY SIX. I WANT TO
BEGIN BY STATING THAT THE
CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
DOES NOT DISAGREE THAT SINGLE
USE PLASTIC PACKAGING OR-
PACKAGED IN GENERAL THAT REACHES
THE ENVIRONMENT IS A POLLUTION
THAT. NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
CALCHAMBER AND ITS MEMBER
COMPANIES- CANDOLI WORK VERY
DILIGENTLY TO TRY TO ENCOURAGE
AND RECYCLE OUR PRODUCTS- IN OUR
PACKAGING I THINK THE QUESTION
THAT WE REALLY FACE TODAY IS
WHETHER BANNING PACKAGING THAT
SERVES A CRITICAL FUNCTION FOR
SHIPPING TRULY BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS OF GOODS THROUGH THE-
CALIFORNIA ECONOMY AS AS THE
AUTHORS INDICATED. IS A GROWING
SECTOR OF OUR ECONOMY SO WE
DON'T DISAGREE WITH THAT- BUT
CANDIDLY IF WE SIMPLY JUST BAN
THIS PACKAGING THERE ARE
UNINTENDED ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSEQUENCES AND CERTAINLY
ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES TO THE
CALIFORNIA ECONOMY AND THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENT. AND IT
IS WHY CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE. REALLY LOOK AT THE
ISSUE OF. SINGLE USE PLASTIC
PACKAGING AS HOW DO WE ACHIEVE A
CIRCULAR ECONOMY IN CALIFORNIA
THAT CREATES AND MARKETS UP PUTS
THE FINANCIAL OBLIGATION ON THE
PRODUCERS TO PAY FOR A MORE
ROBUST RECYCLING PROGRAM WHICH-
FOR DECADES CALIFORNIA EXPORTED
ITS- ITS MATERIALS ABROAD AND
NOW WE NEED TO DEVELOP THE
INFRASTRUCTURE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA SO WE MANAGE OUR OWN-
MATERIALS. HOW DO WE CREATE
THOSE AND MARKETS AND STORES
REDUCE SUPERFLUOUS PACKAGING SO
WE DON'T DISAGREE THAT THERE IS
EXCESS PACKAGING THAT CAN BE
REDUCED WE ALL AGREE IT IN
INCENTIVIZING AND CREATING
FINANCIAL MECHANISMS TO PENALIZE
IF YOU DO NOT. BECOME MORE
EFFICIENT. AND ALL OF THESE
IDEAS HAVE BEEN PUT FORTH. IN
NOT ONLY DISCUSSIONS LAST YEAR
BUT THIS YEAR AND A BROADER
CIRCULAR ECONOMY DISCUSSION
THAT'S GOING ON CURRENTLY SO WE
FIND THAT A BAND BILL ON
PACKAGING WHICH- NO DISRESPECT
THE AUTHOR BUT THERE ARE NO
SUBSTITUTE FOR A LOT OF THE
PACKAGING FOR SOME OF THESE
SECTORS WHICH ARE NOT EXEMPTED
ON THIS BILL. AND SO WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSEQUENCES IF YOUR TELEVISION
YOUR REFRIGERATORS YOUR COMPUTER
MONITORS ALL THE WHICH RELIES ON
EPS TO COME FROM SOUTHEAST ASIA
IN THE CALIFORNIA MARKET PLACE
BREAKS OR IS RETURNED BY
CUSTOMER THERE ARE MASSIVE GHG
EMISSION. IMPACTS FOR SENDING
THESE PRODUCTS BACK TO THEIR
HOUSE ORIGIN- THERE IS MASSIVE
ENVIRONMENT IMPACTS TO RE MAKING
THESE PRODUCTS THERE'S MASSIVE
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS THE
LANDFILL IN THE ACTUAL PRODUCT
AND TO PUT IN PERSPECTIVE EPS IS
ZERO POINT 5% OF THE CALIFORNIA
WASTE STREAM SO WHEN WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT BANNING. EPS WE I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP IT
IN CONTEXT TO HOW BIG THE WASTE
STREAM IS AND WHAT PRODUCTS- THE
PROTECTING FROM DAMAGE BREAKAGE
ETCETERA AND SO WE COMMIT TO
WORKING ON A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
WITH THE PROPOSAL THAT THE
CALIFORNIA CHAMBER AND BUSINESS.
COMMUNITIES BUT FORD IS THE
FIRST IN THE NATION THAT
ACTUALLY EXCEEDS ALL OTHER
CIRCULAR ECONOMY PROPOSALS OUT
THERE WE ARE COMMITTED TO
CONTINUE THAT BUT WE MUST
OPPOSE- ARBITRARY BAN ON
MATERIALS WITH. CANDIDLY DATES
THAT WE DON'T SEE A REALISTIC OR
GROUNDED IN ANY SORT OF- I GUESS
REALITY OR I WOULD SAY THE
TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY SO- WITH
THAT WE RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE HAVE
ONE MORE WITNESS IN OPPOSITION I
BELIEVE TESTIFYING. OVER THE
PHONE WALTER ACORN FROM THE
CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION.
OPERATOR Q. PLEASE OPEN UP THE
LINE FOR MISTER- ALCORN SORRY.
YET THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM
JERRY CAN YOU HEAR ME YES. THANK
YOU MEASURE GOOD AFTERNOON MY
NAME IS WALTER ALCORN ON WHAT
THE CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY
ASSOCIATION I REPRESENT
MANUFACTURERS AND RETAILERS OF
CONSUMER TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS
LIKE TELEVISIONS AND MONITORS.
ARTISTRY WE ONLY USE PACKAGING
TO GET PRODUCTS BASICALLY FROM
THE FACTORY TO CONSUMERS HOME
AND- HOPEFULLY UNDAMAGED AND WE
DO USE PACKAGING MATERIALS LIKE
EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE ALSO KNOWN
AS THE T. P. S. AND THESE ARE
CRITICAL TO ABSORBING THE
DESTRUCTIVE VIBRATION AND SHOCKS
THAT ARE NORMALLY ASSOCIATED
WITH TRANSPORT- AND
UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE NO
VIABLE ALTERNATIVES. THE EPS
INSIGHT SO OUR MANUFACTURERS
ALSO IN A SIMILAR VEIN USED FILM
TO PROTECT ITS PLACE CREAM
STIRRING SHIPMENT AND IT WOULD
ALSO BE BANNED THE BILL. SO THE
PACKAGING MATERIALS ARE IMPACTED
THE HOME AND THEY'RE NOT FOUND
IMMEASURABLE AMOUNT ANYWHERE IN
THE OUT OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENT- SO
INCREASED BREAKAGE RATES FOR
TELEVISIONS AND MONITORS AND
OTHER LARGER COMPLEX PRODUCTS
WOULD CREATE ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACTS THAT FAR OUTWEIGH ANY
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ASSOCIATED
WITH PRIMARY PACKAGING NOT JUST
IN TERMS OF MATERIALS OF MASS
BUT ALSO AS WITH MENTIONED
EARLIER AT THE GREENHOUSE GAS
IMPACTS. ASSOCIATED WITH
SHIPPING EMBEDDED ENERGY BODY
ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH REDUNDANT
PRODUCTION OF NOTE ALSO THAT NO
JURISDICTION ANYWHERE IN THE
WORLD EXPAND THESE CRITICAL
PACKAGING MATERIALS FOR THIS
PURPOSE ANYWAY SO I DO WANT TO
BANK ASSEMBLY MEMBER FRIEDMAN

APPROACH THATAVOIDS UNINTENDED

CONSTRUCTION OF COVANTA
STANISLAUS INCINERATOR BEGAN IN
WESTON FONG IN THE AREA
HISTORICALLY HOME TO FARMWORKERS
WITH A POPULATION THAT IS NEARLY
80% PEOPLE OF COLOR MAINLY
LATINOS. NOT ONLY IS THE
INCINERATOR ONE OF THE LARGEST
STATIONARY SOURCES OF AIR
POLLUTION AND GREENHOUSE GASES
IN STANISLAUS COUNTY IT ALSO
INCENTIVIZES THE CREATION OF
MORE TRASH AND DISINCENTIVE EYES
IS MORE SUSTAINABLE LOCAL WASTE
PRACTICES FOR EXAMPLE MODESTO
HAS NO RESIDENTIAL CURBSIDE
RECYCLING SERVICE DESPITE HAVING

FROM MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
MISTER WHAT. THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR- MISTER SEA I'M FULLY IN
SUPPORT OF THE TRANSFORMATION
FACILITIES PIECES OF THE BILL
HOWEVER I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A
PROVISION IN SECTION THREE OF
THE BILL. THAT WOULD GIVE CAO
RECYCLE SIGNIFICANT NEW
AUTHORITY OVER JURISDICTIONS
THEY NEED TO DEVELOP A NEW WASTE
FACILITY INCLUDING A NEW
LANDFILL. I'M VERY SUPPORTIVE
ARE WASTED DIVERSION WASTE AND
REDUCTIONDIVERSION GOALS I SAT
ON THE- ON- WASTE MANAGEMENT
AGENCY FOR SEVERAL YEARS WHEN I
WAS A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER- BUT
WILDFIRES ARE TAKING A TOLL ON
ON. ON THESE- FACILITIES BECAUSE
WE CAN'T RECYCLE THAT AND FOR
EACH HOUSE. THERE'S A HUGE
AMOUNT OF WASTE THAT HAS TO BE
DISPOSED OF. AND NOW WE'RE
POTENTIALLY GOING TO MAKE IT
HARDER FOR JURISDICTIONS TO SITE
AND IT'S ALREADY EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT A NEW A NEW LANDFILL
SOMEWHERE SO I I'LL SUPPORT YOUR
BILL TODAY BUT I HOPE YOU WORK
ON NARROWING THAT. THAT PIECE OF
THE LANGUAGE IN IN. IN IN IN A
KNOWLEDGE MENT OF SOME OF THE
CHALLENGES THAT WE ALREADY FACE
AN INSIDE IN A LANDFILL. I WANT
TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP- IN IN THE SPACE.
BOTH AND- THE WASTE MANAGEMENT
BUT ALSO WITH THE WILDFIRES OUT
THERE. IN IN SOME INSPECTORATE
DOES MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT- I
THINK MICHAEL AND IF THERE'S A
WAY TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL IN THAT
ENSURE WE'RE LOOKING AT ALL
OTHER. MEANS OF REDUCING WASTE
BEFORE WE ARE PERMITTED A NEW
LANDFILL AND IF THERE'S A BETTER
WAY TO DO THAT. I'M DEFINITELY
OPEN TO THAT I DO THINK WE COULD
ACHIEVE BOTH AND SO I DO
APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP AND
WILL FOLLOW UP. CAN I JUST POINT
OUT WHEN THERE'S A WHEN THERE'S
A WILDFIRE IN THEIR HOUSES
INVOLVED- THE WASTE HAULERS
COULD THE HOLLERS COME IN AND
THEY THEY'VE THEY'VE LITERALLY
WRAP IT UP IT'S LIKE A BIG
BURRITO FOR LACK OF A- BATES
PLASTIC AROUND IT. THAT'S TOXIC
IT'S BIG IT'S NOT RECYCLABLE
THERE'S NO WAY IN THE WORLD YOU
CAN RECYCLE THAT NOBODY EVEN
REALLY KNOWS WHAT'S IN THERE.
AND THAT IS FILLING UP LANDFILLS
ALL OVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
AND- AND OTHER PROBABLY SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA AS WELL. SO WE HAVE
TO COME TO GRIPS WITH THAT
REALITY. BUT I'M JUST CONCERNED
ABOUT. HOW DIFFICULT IT ALREADY
IS TO CITE- LANDFILL- AND NOW.
GIVING ANOTHER AT AN AGENCY MORE
AUTHORITY. TO POTENTIALLY MAKE
THAT MORE DIFFICULT AT SOME
POINT. YOU KNOW WE CAN'T JUST
LEAVE THIS OUT THERE- AND THAT'S
THAT'S HUGE PROBLEM FROM MY
PERSPECTIVE. AND I APPRECIATE IT
I'VE ACTUALLY VISITED ONE OF THE
LANDFILLS THAT'S ANOTHER
CALIFORNIA IT'S TAKING. US SOME
OF THIS. DEBRIS OUT THERE. AS
WELL AND SO I DO BUT I DO
BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A WAY- WHEN
APPROPRIATE FOR US TO LOOK AT.
SOURCE REDUCTION AND WHEN AN
APPROPRIATE TO CARVE THAT OUT ON
AND THIS IS A WILL DEFINITELY
FOLLOW UP ON THAT. THANK YOU
THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
FROM THE COMMITTEE. CASEIN NINE
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE I JUST
WANNA SAY THAT WE WILL CONTINUE
TO WORK WITH THE TWEETERS AND RC
RC IN IN THEIR OPPOSITION- AS
WELL I THINK THAT THERE'S- SOME

OF NOT ALL OF THEM AND WITH THAT
