Yoel Wazana’s Take on the CEQA
Micro Solutions Enterprise is a company founded by Yoel
Wazana in 1994. It is located in Van Nuys, California. Yoel Wazana created this company based on the idea of recycling
toners and cartridges. He takes environmental concerns very seriously, and
cares deeply about his state.
In 1970, California passed a bill called the California
Environmental Quality Act, often referred to CEQA for short.
The CEQA is a statute that identifies the impacts that
environmental actions have and ways to avoid them.
Recently, the CEQA has been a topic of interest for many,
because it is up for reform.
The California Environmental Quality Act has been blamed for
holding up some important environmental events, such as the Regional Connector
light rail.
As a part of the CEQA, any significant project in California
must go through an environmental review and an outreach process.
However, it is believed that this process is being abused by
unions, activist groups, rival developers and opposing residents in order to
receive a few extra dollars.
In California, the CEQA might be a way for some to
accumulate financial gain, rather than actually take care of the environment.
This is disadvantageous to certain California projects that
are attempting to encourage a better community.
In an effort to improve the California Environmental Quality
Act, a reform bill was established. However, Democrats rejected the reform
bill, claiming it was too vague.
Luckily, Darrell Steinberg, a Sacramento democrat, along
with President Pro Tem of the Senate, made a few changes to the CEQA bill.
Under Steinberg’s proposal, there will be a definite way to
determine when a lawsuit is appropriate for certain environmental projects.
Yoel Wazana is looking forward to whatever changes are made
to the California Environmental Quality Act, and hopes any new bill that is
passed ultimately benefits the state.
