California State Lands Commission Meeting

On Monday June 1st, the California State Lands Commission is considering significant items related off shore oil-drilling in Santa Barbara and our Raise Above Plastics campaign.

Come out and voice your support!

At the meeting, we need people to testify in support of the following agenda items:

• Support: Agenda Item 69. This is a resolution that would support legislation to reduce litter and marine debris by imposing a fee on single-use carryout bags.   We all know about the damage plastics are causing in our oceans.  Go here: http://riseaboveplastics.blogspot.com to learn more information that will help you with your testimony.
• Support: Agenda Item 70. In January, the State Lands Commission denied an oil-drilling project in Santa Barbra and we need to make sure that decision is not overruled!  Item 70 is a resolution opposing the Governor’s Budget Revision to override the State Lands Commission denial of the PXP oil-drilling project.  Help ensure the decision to protect Santa Barbra coastline is upheld.  Go here: http://www.nottheanswer.org to gather more information for talking points during your testimony.
