James Slattery, our Environment Now Assistant Coordinator, made it to the World Series- and brought our orange reusable bag with him!
Whether you’re purchasing a Giants hat as a holiday gift or picking up appetizers on your way to a holiday party, remember your reusable bags this season!
As part of our community outreach for San Francisco’s extended checkout bag ordinance, we're handing out over 17,000 reusable bags across the city to help residents remember to bring their own bag. Each person who received a bag pledged to use it.
Haven’t gotten your bag yet? We’re handing out bags through Thursday, November 15! Come find us at one of our final giveaway locations.
With so many reusable bags out there, we want to know how you use your bag this holiday season! Send us a photo on Facebook or Twitter.

Energy
A dynamic city like San Francisco requires the efficient use of clean, renewable energy to meet the needs of today and future generations. Our innovative policies and programs help San Franciscans use energy wisely, while saving money and reducing environmental impacts.
Transportation
SF Environment aims to reduce travel-created carbon by getting people out of cars and instead traveling by walking, biking or public transit. We also are greening the City fleet of vehicles and encourage the public to reduce their impact by supporting cleaner fuels and vehicles.
Zero Waste
Imagine a world in which nothing goes to landfills or to incinerators. We think it is achievable, and SF Environment is doing everything we can to make it happen.
Toxics & Health
As the first city to adopt the Precautionary Principle, San Francisco strives to protect the health of its residents, visitors and the local environment. SF Environment develops programs and policies to help individuals and businesses make safer choices in products, practices and services.
Buildings & Environments
San Francisco is habitat for 800,000 people – meeting needs for space to work, play, and learn; for food, water, and air; for community with local flora and fauna. SF Environment provides support for urban agriculture and forestry and green buildings, helping residents and businesses harness environmental opportunities.
Education & Equity
SF Environment focuses on building community capacity - engaging people throughout the City’s neighborhoods and providing them with the tools, education, and job opportunities to ensure that the places where we live, play, learn, and work are safe and healthy.
Climate Change
Reducing carbon emissions is central to ensuring a sustainable future for San Francisco. Climate change will bring unstable weather, rising sea levels and damage to our city’s natural habitat and infrastructure. SF Environment is committed to mobilizing the City to deal with Climate Change.
