Following the passage of AB 32, the California Air Resources Board is currently working on drafting new regulations that will impact more than 1.5 million trucks and buses used to transport goods and people on California’s roads and highways.  The rule applies to diesel engines and means owners of these engines will be required to replace or make upgrades in just a few short years.  The draft regulations are anticipated to be ready this month, with CARB scheduled to vote for implementation in October.  Driving Toward a Cleaner California (DTCC) is a coalition of businesses affected by the new regulations that has been formed to work with CARB on drafting the rule.   For more information on how these new rules could affect your business, visit www.drivecleanca.org.

If you are a Huntington Beach Chamber of Commerce member and you have not signed up to participate in the Office Depot savings program, you are DEFINITELY spending more on your office supplies than you should be paying. Because of the buying power of chambers and their members across the United States, Office Depot contracts to provide discounts ranging from a 33% average on toner supplies to an average of 76% on paper supplies. In addition, members receive a 10% discount on web pricing for select general office products and furniture. These discounts are even greater than those Office Depot provides to its large corporate customers. Why? Because the purchasing power of chamber members across the Nation is greater, and the more chamber members buy the deeper the discounts.
