EIGHT TRANSITIONS BUT NOT BANS
THE STATE AWAY FROM USING THE
SALE BUT NOT THE USE OF OUR
DISTRIBUTION OF PLASTIC GIFT
CARDS BY EIGHT JANUARY FIRST OF
TWENTY TWENTY SEVEN TOWARDS MORE
ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE GIFT
CARD OPTIONS THAT ARE. ALREADY
READILY AVAILABLE AT MANY
RETAILERS MORE THAN THREE POINT
FOUR BILLION THAT GIFT CARDS
WERE SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES
IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE ACCORDING
TO BE ON PLASTICS AND YES THAT
WAS ONE YEAR OF BILLIONS THAT
WERE USED. THE VAST MAJORITY OF
GIFT CARDS ARE MADE FROM A
POLYVINYL CHLORIDE PLASTIC ALSO
KNOWN AS PVC CONSIDERED TO BE
ONE OF THE SINGLE MOST
ENVIRONMENTALLY DAMAGING OF ALL
THE PLASTICS PLASTIC GIFT CARDS
ARE DIFFICULT TO RECYCLE AND
MANY LOCAL RECYCLING CENTERS DO
NOT ACCEPT PVC GIFT CARDS DUE TO
THEIR SMALL AND THIN. SIZE
INTERACTING POORLY WITH
RECYCLING MACHINERY SO PLASTIC
GIFT CARDS INTENDED FOR
RECYCLING MAY END UP IN THE
LANDFILL. MANY BUSINESSES
ALREADY OFFER MORE
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY GIFT
CARD OPTIONS NOW AND MOST
BUSINESSES ACTUALLY DON'T MAKE
THEIR OWN GIFT CARDS THEY
OUTSOURCE THAT TO MANUFACTURERS.
IN APRIL MASTERCARD ANNOUNCED
PLANS TO REMOVE THE FIRST USE OF
PVC FROM ALL THEIR PAYMENT CARDS
INCLUDING GIFT CARDS FOR
SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS INCLUDING
RECYCLED BIO SOURCED PLASTICS IN
THE NEAR FUTURE BY TWENTY TWENTY
EIGHT I DO HAVE SAMPLES OF WHAT
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. THE
SAMPLES I HAVE AND I'M HAPPY TO
PASS THEM OUT ARE THE
ENVIRONMENTALLY GIVE COOK-
FRIENDLY GIVE CARDS THAT MOST
PEOPLE THINK- ARE GOING TO BE
FEEL LIKE PAPER. SO WITH YOUR
PERMISSION I'M HAPPY TO PASS
THOSE AROUND SO PEOPLE CAN FEEL
THEM- AND IF THEY CAN SEE THAT
THEY STILL FEEL LIKE A REAL GIFT
CARD- AND TODAY HE- I WOULD HAVE
HAD HERE AND LET ME HÌ FROM THE
SURFRIDER FOUNDATION BUT
REGRETTABLY SHE'S NOT YET HERE.

YOU CAN CLEAR CONSISTENT AND
MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THE
RIGHT THING ON ALL FRONTS AND-
ENVIRONMENTAL AND I JUST LIKE-

EUROPEANS ARE ALREADY DO MY MIKE

ARE ALREADY TRANSITIONING YOU'LL
SEE HERE IN THE SAMPLES TO YOU
IT'S A LOT OF THE LARGE
BUSINESSES. AND THE SMALL
BUSINESSES DON'T TEND TO MAKE
THEIR OWN GIFT CARDS ON THE
OUTSOURCER THIS IS A WE ALSO
FEEL THAT BY HAVING AN
IMPLEMENTATION DATE OF TWENTY
TWENTY SEVEN- IT ALLOWS FOR THAT
TRANSITION. JUST TO BE CLEAR IF
YOU YOURSELF HAVE ONE OF THOSE
CARDS YOU GET TO USE IT THIS IS
ONLY THE SALE- YOU GET TO USE IT
AS LONG AS THERE IS. AN AMOUNT
OR MANY ON THAT CARD- SO THIS
DOESN'T HAVE AN OVERNIGHT SHIFT
IT'S JUST I REALLY-
INCENTIVIZING AND MOVING
FORWARD- THE MANUFACTURERS TO

WORK AS IT PERTAINS TAKE KEEPING
SMOKE AWAY FROM FAMILIES
CHILDREN. HOWEVER THERE'S A
LOOPHOLE THAT STILL ALLOWS. YOU
MEMBERS OF FARM HOSPITALITY
WORKERS TO BE EXPOSED TO SECOND
HAND SMOKE. STUDY AFTER STUDY
HAS SHOWN THAT DESIGNATED
SMOKING AREAS AIR CLEANING
FILTERING PRACTICES A
VENTILATION SYSTEMS ARE NOT
FULLY ELIMINATE THE RISK OF
SMOKE EXPOSURE. IMPLEMENTING A
COMPREHENSIVE BAN ON INDOOR
SMOKING IN CALIFORNIA IS THE
ONLY MEASURE TO PROTECT PEOPLE
IN THE WORKPLACE GOING SMOKE
FREE WOULD ALSO RESULT IN LOWER
CLEANING MAINTENANCE EXPENSES
LOWER INSURANCE PREMIUMS AND
LOWER LABOR COST. NOT TO MENTION
THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THOSE
WORKING IN THAT INDUSTRY GOING

CHAIRMAN MEMBERS I'M
CALIFORNIANS CONSUME ONE POINT
EIGHT MILLION BARRELS OF OIL
EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT'S ROUGHLY
FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO
MILLION BARRELS A YEAR BUT ONLY
A FRACTION OF THAT IS PRODUCED
LAST YEAR. IN CALIFORNIA BY
CALIFORNIAN FOR CALIFORNIANS- BY
CALIFORNIANS FOR CALIFORNIANS
AND THE REST OF WAS IMPORTED
MOSTLY FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES
AND TRANSPORTED HERE AND HUGE. A
TANKER SHIPS THE AMOUNT OF
CALIFORNIANS SPEND ON IMPORTED
OIL IS ENORMOUS OIL TODAY IF
IT'S PRICED AT SEVENTY DOLLARS A
BARREL AND IF IT HOLDS TILL THE
END OF THE YEAR THEN CALIFORNIA
WILL PAY MORE THAN THIRTY SIX
POINT FIVE. BILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR JUST ON THE ROCK COST OF
THE OIL THAT WE CONSUME EVERY
SINGLE DAY THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY
THAT GOES TO COUNTRIES LIKE
ECUADOR IRAQ IN SAUDI ARABIA.
TRULY TODAY'S STATE. POLICIES
THE CURRENT POLICIES IN THE
ENERGY POLICIES THAT WE HAVE
DON'T MAKE VERY MUCH SENSE WITH
FOREIGN IMPORTS. WE CANCELED
CALIFORNIA'S ENERGY SECURITY AND
WE PUT IT IN THE HANDS OF
ACTIVELY- HOSTILE NATIONS TO THE
STATE. THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME
HUMAN RIGHTS CONSIDERATIONS THAT
WE HAVE HERE IN CALIFORNIA THEY
DON'T HAVE THE SAME LABOR RIGHTS
AND THEY DEFINITELY DON'T HAVE
THE SAME ENVIRONMENTAL RIGHTS.
THE TOP FIVE COUNTRIES THAT WE
DO BUSINESS WITH IN THE STATE TO
ME CALIFORNIANS DEMAND 75% OF
THE FOR OIL THAT WE IMPORT WHICH
IS ABOUT SIX HUNDRED FORTY
THOUSAND BARRELS A DAY. OR TWO
HUNDRED THIRTY THREE MILLION
BARRELS A YEAR THESE COUNTRIES
ARE IRAQ ECUADOR SAUDI ARABIA
BRAZIL AND COLOMBIA. CURRENTLY
CALIFORNIA'S NUMBER ONE SOURCE.
AND THE NUMBER TWO SOURCE OF
FOREIGN CRUDE OIL IS ECUADOR IT
JUST WENT FROM NUMBER ONE TO
NUMBER TWO JUST RECENTLY. IT'S
BEEN STRONGLY CRITICIZED BY
ENVIRONMENTAL AND INDIGENOUS
GROUPS. FOR ITS PRACTICE OF
CLEAR CUTTING THE BOOK AND
BULLDOZING DOWN THE AMAZON
RAINFOREST. FOR THE TOP SIX
COUNTRIES THAT WE IMPORT OIL
FROM ACTIVELY ARE DESTROYING THE
MOST BIO DIVERSE. ECOSYSTEM ON
THE PLANET BECAUSE WE DON'T THEY
DON'T ADHERE TO THE SAME STRICT
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES THAT WE
CONTROL OUT OF THIS BUILDING
WHEN WE PRODUCE OIL HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. ONE STATE THIS STATE
CALIFORNIA IMPORTS HALF OF THE
CRUDE OIL THAT'S PRODUCED IN
ECUADOR 53% OF ECUADORIAN OIL
THAT'S PRODUCED. BULLDOZING DOWN
THE AMAZON RAINFOREST AND
INVASIVE- INTRUSION AND
INDIGENOUS INDIAN TRIBES. IN
THAT AREA AND YOU KNOW
CONTAMINATING THE WATER SUPPLY
THAT THEY HAVE BECAUSE THEY HAVE
NO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS IN
ECUADOR. IS PRODUCED IN ECUADOR
AND BROUGHT TO THIS STATE AND WE
PURCHASED 53% OF ECUADOR'S OIL
PRODUCTION. CALIFORNIA'S
DECISION TO IMPORT RATHER THAN
PRODUCE OIL HERE MEANS THAT WERE
FINANCING MORE THAN JUST THE
DESTRUCTION OF THE AMAZON
RAINFOREST. JUST LAST FEBRUARY
AN INDIGENOUS LEADER IN ECUADOR
WAS MURDERED. THE KILLING IS
BELIEVED TO BE LINKED TO THE
COMMUNITIES FIGHT. TO BLOCK IT
WOULD ARE STATE OWNED OIL
COMPANY FROM EXPANDING. IN
DRILLING IN HIS TRIBAL REGION.
SAUDI ARABIA AND IRAQ TO
ANNUALLY HIGHLIGHTED IN THE U.
S. STATE DEPARTMENT FOR THE
DEPLORABLE HUMAN RIGHTS
VIOLATIONS IN THESE TWO
COUNTRIES SENATOR- JUST WANNA.
GOING TO BRING YOU TO THE FACT
THAT WE ONLY HAVE A FEW MORE
MINUTES SO WE'RE GOING TO WRAP
UP SO. IF YOU CAN BRING YOUR
COMMENTS TO A CLOSE SURE WE
IMPORT ABOUT FIFTY MILLION
BARRELS OF OIL IN SAUDI ARABIA
FROM SAUDI ARABIA AND DAY IF YOU
ARE A MEMBER OF THE LGBTQ
COMMUNITY IT'S PUNISHABLE BY
DEATH. IN THAT COUNTRY THREE
WOMEN CANNOT DRIVE AND THEY
CANNOT VOTE IN THIS STATE SINCE
THAT COUNTRY THREE POINT FIVE
BILLION DOLLARS EVERY SINGLE
YEAR AGAIN JUST TO MEET THE
DEMAND THAT WE HAVE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. CALIFORNIA'S DEMAND
ON OIL HAS NOT GONE DOWN EVEN
WITH ALL THE GREEN ENERGY
TECHNOLOGY THAT'S BEEN IN PLACE
AND WE ARE CONTINUING A
TRANSITION THE TRANSITION IS NOT
GETTING US OFF OF OIL THE
TRANSITION IS GETTING US OFF OF.
DOMESTICALLY PRODUCED OIL AND WE
IMPORT OIL FROM OTHER COUNTRIES
IF YOU GOT A VESSEL FINDER DOT
COM YOU CAN TRACK THESE VESSELS
LEAVING THOSE COUNTRIES COMING
TO US THEY ALSO MANIPULATE THE
PRICE. WE DON'T TRACK. AND THE-
MILLIONS OF METRIC TONS OF
CARBON THAT COMES FROM POINT OF
DESTINATION TO POINT OF ORIGIN
OR POINT OF ORIGIN TO POINT OF
DESTINATION FROM THESE
COUNTRIES. THIS BILL REQUIRES
THAT TO BE POSTED ON THE
WEBSITE. THESE SHIPS THAT COME
FROM THESE COUNTRIES COME. TO
OUR TWELVE MILE OUT OF OUR
RADIUS OF OUR IN LAND- IN OUR
COASTLINE. AND WE ONLY TRACKED
THE IT WILL EMISSIONS OR THE
CARBON EMISSIONS FROM THE TWELVE
MILE POINT OF ORIGIN FROM THAT
POINT. OF TWELVE MILES OUT IF
YOU LOOK AT THE TRACKING ON
VESSEL FINDER DOT COM YOU CAN
TRACK THESE VESSELS. THEY CIRCLE
OUT ACROSS OUR COASTLINE TWELVE
MILES AWAY AND THEN WHEN THE
PRICE GOES UP THE BEELINE IT TO
OUR SHORELINE TO SAY OUR SELL
OIL TO US THAT WE NEED
DESPERATELY EVERY DAY. FOR A
HIGHER PRICE. THIS BILL WILL
HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THAT IT'LL
CALCULATE AND SHOW THE TRUE-
NUMBERS OF THE OIL PRODUCTION
AND THE CARBON EMISSIONS TO
BRING US OIL HERE. AND I WOULD
JUST LIKE TO SHOW A FEW PHOTOS
IF I COULD IT WOULD JUST TAKE
ONE SECOND TO DO SENATOR FIRST
OF ALL THE BILLS ON SUSPENSE YES
CONSIDERATION TO GIVE YOU THE
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A STATEMENT
OR TO AND YOU'VE GONE. WE'VE
GIVEN YOU A LOT OF LATITUDE. WE
WRAPPING UP OUR MEETING SO WE
APPRECIATE. YOUR PRESENTATION-
BUT WE'RE GOING TO IF YOU KNOW
MY WE'RE GONNA NEED TO MOVE
FORWARD YOUR BILL WILL BE
CONSIDERED UNDER THE SUSPENSE.
HEARING PROCESS AND- THANK YOU

THE COMMITTEES SURGERY THOUGHTS.
