           SUBJECT  :    Wineries:  leadership

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This resolution proclaims April 2012 as the 
          month to celebrate the sustainable leadership of California 
          wineries and winegrape growers with the theme, California 
          Wines:  Down to Earth," timed to Earth Day on April 22nd.

           ANALYSIS  :    This resolution makes the following 
          legislative findings:

          1. Growing participation in organic, biodynamic, and 
             sustainable certification programs further conveys 
             California vintners' and growers' adherence to high 
             standards and dedication to continuous improvement. 

          2. California's wine community conserves water, energy, and 
             other natural resources, protects habitat, employee 
             welfare, and air, water, and soil quality; and, promotes 
             the use of natural pest management and alternative 
             energy and fuels.

          3. California's sustainable and environmental programs have 
             been applauded for their accomplishments and serve as a 
             model for wine communities outside of California and 
             other agricultural sectors within the state.
