Dear Port of Seattle Commission Staff --
I am providing comment on item 7a.I am glad that the Port is doing more to
address system racism andoppression, and hope that as it considers this motion,
youdon't neglect theexternal impacts of Port operation.
Sea-Tac aviation activity engenders broader environmental injustices. Under current
demand growth projections,Greenhouse Gasemissions from fuel pumped at Sea-
Tac are on their way to becoming the largest source of GHG emissions. These
emissions are driving the climate crisis, which ishitting under-resourced
communities of color hardest.
Any environmental justice work that you do must include acknowledging and
redressing the wider harms Port operations have on marginalized communities and
communities of color, in our region and beyond.
Thank you,
Tyrell Hedlund
