Commissioners,
I am Laura Gibbons, a Seattle resident, and a volunteer member of the Aviation Team of 350 Seattle, a
group that works for climate justice.
I am pleased to see all that the Port's Office of Environment & Sustainability is honoring businesses for
reducing on-the-ground energy use and waste reduction. But there is a risk that this will just be
greenwashing by the airlines, compared to what they really need to do.
Remember that your reduction target for Scope 3 emissions is 50% by 2030 and 80% by 2050. While
LED lighting and waste reduction is useful, it's a drop in the bucket towards that 80%.
You and the airlines must come up with a plan that can meet these targets. As I've said before, the only
one I know that is feasible is to cut aviation by 80%.
Sincerely,
Laura Gibbons
