Hello,
I’m writing in regards to the city council meeting today. My name is Alexa, I am 22 years old
and have lived in San Bernardino my entire life. When I moved out of town to Northern
California one of the first things I noted was the quality of air and how good it felt breathing. I
began seeing these differences everywhere I went, always comparing it to my hometown, and
even feeling overall healthier because I was away. Now with the pandemic, I am back home
and need to live with an air purifier. With climate change hitting California with fires it’s not
getting any better. These warehouses make it significantly worse. Yes, they add jobs, but do
they offer true opportunity and growth? We need to do better for our city. We need a citywide
warehouse moratorium to protect our lands and the people who inhabit it.
One of many concerned residents, Alexa Dolen
