Thank you for looking at how to handle some additional resumption of airline travel as

COVID19 concerns lessen.

I am writing as part of the 350.org aviation subgroup.

As a way to celebrate and amplify recent reductions in pollution (Greenhouse Gases,

noise, and fine particulates to the surrounding communities, e.g.), I would like to see

the Port take a more balanced role in this resumption, to the extent that it involves a

return to increasing levels of unacceptable pollution. I would like the Port to publicly

acknowledge that continued reduction in pleasure and business flying, and even in air

freight, can be a good thing, and embrace, as an enthusiastic partner, community

wide efforts to reduce climate change, and pollution, especially as they effect ethnic

minorities and economically disadvantaged populations.
