We have natural seepage off the coast and using it for oil - Newsom forced Chevron and other oil refineries to leave! would Cleaner beaches and low environmental impact Carbon is our friend! Plus no infrastructure for electric alternatives. Cali is the only State w/high gas prices! Unacceptable!

James Keenan

It’s the only way to clean up our beaches!

Fran Robertson

The tar is back on our beautiful beaches and wild life. The drilling keeps the natural seepage at bay. We need the resource anyway and the facilities are already in place. It’s a terrible waste not to help our environment and provide a much needed commodity.

Dan S

California can use GOOD paying jobs! The rest of the country is just selling their oil at high rates due to stupidity. Come on people think about creating real jobs not just artists and dancers.

Elizabeth Perlin

We need to be less energy dependent

since 2015, me and my family saw the Refugio Oil Spill. it was a mess that I don't want to happen for the second time in my entire life if we even start drilling again

Joanne

Global warming is real! We need to incorporate other energy sources besides petro!

Debbie Mancini Reber

We need to focus on other means of energy (wind, solar) as we DO NOT need more oil spills on our coastline.

Debbie Mancini Reber

We need to use other means of power (wind, solar) plus after the last oil spill here we DEFINITELY DO NOT need another. We’ve got to get away from fossil fuels. Our environment can’t take much more of human beings destroying it.

Kim Sims

I love the ocean. I would like us to move away from fossil fuels towards renewable resources for power generation

I try whenever I can.

Barry Rashford

If we want a plastic ocean then we should continue to do what we are doing.

k san

Because it is the right thing to do.

Stuart Alpert

hello

Larry Ewart

As much as possible

Sarah Croom

I do but I go rounds w/ my guy. Ever since China stopped taking our recycling he stopped doing it. Idk if all that is real, I have noticed that our garbage guy just loads both cans into the same dump bin & it’s not sorted. So that’s really disturbing. Every little bit helps I feel. I rec. everything

Carolyn Morris

Always, I Re Use Water Bottles.

Misty Schrotberger

My mom has a cow if we don't

kaycstamper

I do what I can but live in an area where they don't have it. Still I save bottles and cardboard to take to recycling. I cook from scratch so don't really have cans.

Michael Stafford

It is the least we can do to preserve our resources.

Julie Brantley

We pay by the pound for certain items so why not pay less and recycle - it's the right thing to do for me and the environment.

JoãoVitorJ J

Yes, I recycle

Milena Santana

because it helps the environment

Cornelia H. Dunnings

I like to help the environment. I even pick up cans & bottles near my car in parking lots.

Joyce Koch

I feel I'm helping out.

Linda Jeffcoat Amick

Why not?

gena

Although I can only hope that it's useful because there is no proof that what is supposedly sent to the recyclers they actually carry through. You always hear about it not being done.

Evey G Quines

It's the least I can do

Bonita Davis

We take our own garbage to the dump and pay by the pound. Recycling is free so the more we recycle the less we have to pay.

Jill Hoadley Chalk

It's important to reuse as many things as possible.

Ann Wilbanks

Our duty to recycle. If it goes to the landfill, it piles up. Be responsible!!

Rachel Clara Smith

Of course! Everyone should recycle!

BJ Arey

We recycle everything possible. We also take cloth bags shopping, use insulated bag with blue ice for cold items & take reusable containers to restaurants for leftovers to take home.

it's quite literally pointless if you do any research

Cindy Calhoun

It's not bogus I just do not have a place to drop it off in my area - if it's not close by I'm lazy and won't go out of my way (I'm a sad case).

Nancy Sam

I do when its readily available at airports, malls, ect. But at our home, no. I do want that to change though.

Jimmy Lancaster

I do what I can with cardboard and such but there is no recycling program where I live

Elaine Reed

There is no recycling program where I live.

Nancy L Marine

My local recycling company charges me to recycle, even though they're already making money on recycling that which people turn in to them.
