California Climate Land-Use Bill Passes Assembly. NRDC, August 25, 2008. "California's state assembly...[passed] a major land-use bill, by a 46-22 margin [Monday which]... aims to reduce global warming pollution through better land-use planning by providing local governments incentives to build more compact neighborhoods and promote more transportation alternatives. The [legislation] is sponsored by the California League of Conservation Voters and the Natural Resources Defense Council. 'California did not invent sprawl; but it made sprawl famous,' [said Tom Adams, CLCV Board President]... '[This bill] will be the first... in the nation to insert climate change into the transportation, housing and land use equation. Make no mistake, S.B. 375 is vital to meeting the promise of California's landmark climate change law.'"
