It is pollen season now, and many Tri-Valley folks like yourselves are talking about allergies. Even though pollen is not included in air quality reports, there are pollen maps that are refreshed daily for you to use, such as the ones from “Air Quality Map” on Breezometer, “Today’s National Allergy Map” on Pollen.com, and notification emails from AAAI.org (American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology).

California Air Quality Goals: 2022 Scoping Plan

#TVAQCATalks2022ScopingPlan
As the fifth largest economy in the world, California plans to be carbon neutral by 2045, but how?

Since Assembly Bill 32 (The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006) has passed, progress is reviewed at least every 5 years, 2008, 2013, 2017, and most recently, 2022 to check our progress and plan the next step.
