Abstract:
"American Samoa Climate Change Mitigation Executive Order 03-2012 implemented rules to help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in American Samoa. This American Samoan Government (ASG) Executive Order (EO) will be reviewed at least every three years for effectiveness and changing circumstances. All departments charged with this EO will provide a report of its implementation and enforcement as part of their ASG quarterly report. By taking these initial steps, the American Samoa Government will motivate local vendors to bring hybrid and higher fuel efficiency vehicles as well as other energy efficient products to our islands. This will make these vehicles and products more attractive and readily available to the public. The new options available to consumers will stimulate the economy and create new job opportunities. The increased use of higher efficiency, lower emission vehicles and products on the island by both ASG and the public will appreciably decrease the amount of fossil fuels consumed and greenhouse gases released by American Samoa. This decrease will be an initial step by American Samoa in doing our part to fight the worldwide problem of climate change and global warming."
