• Cool, clear water
    Per Mayor Newsom’s executive order, no city Department or Agency may purchase single servings of bottled water; no exceptions.  Who needs it when Hetch Hetchy water is so good (and good for you)?

  • Want fries with that litter?
    The first-ever audit of San Francisco’s litter shows that the most common branded litter on the streets is McDonalds packaging.   Individuals have the responsibility not to drop litter on the streets, but the business sector also needs to examine its practices that feed the problem—just reducing the number of paper napkins in a to-go order would make a significant positive impact.

  • Here comes the sun
    San Francisco launched a first-of-its-kind solar mapping website in hopes of getting more people in the city to turn to solar power. The site offers specific information about how you can convert your home.

  • If not sun, then wind…
    And another option for clean residential energy is underway in SF.  If you live in one of our gustier neighborhoods, you may want to consider wind power.

San Francisco’s first residential wind power turbine harnesses the breezes of Bernal Heights.
