This article written by the OC Register, a southern californian publication, highlights some key dates for environmental issues this year. From recycling laws to bans on fluorescent light bulbs and lawnmowers, California has a lot in store for 2024. One important date that highlights environmental clean up is on October first. The South Coast Air Quality Management District is thinking about putting regulations on ports to help clean up pollution in those areas. This would help clean the water and natural habitat around ship ports along California’s coast.
This article showcases what California is doing to take initiative and help the environment. California has always been a trendsetter for other states in the climate change arena. With laws and regulations protecting our environment and our citizens from damage. These new laws that will come into effect in 2024 will just continue to help the environment even if it is in small ways, like banning fluorescent light bulbs. Everything makes a difference.
It’s inspiring to see California’s proactive approach to environmental issues, as highlighted in this article. How can other states learn from California’s example and implement similar comprehensive environmental regulations and initiatives to address pollution and protect natural habitats and communities?
I found California’s approach to environmental issues interesting, however I’m still wondering what other approaches can California take that would have an immediate impact on this issues?
