- Green buildings across the board
Commercial and residential buildings in San Francisco may be required to meet high environmental standards, similar to those already in place for municipal buildings, if the city follows the recommendations of Mayor Newsom’s Green Building Task Force.
- Climate change is everyone’s problem
San Francisco has made an important U-turn: citywide greenhouse gas emissions have returned close to 1990 levels. But if we’re going to make our ambitious goal of 20 percent below 1990 levels by 2012, businesses and residents will need to pitch in.
- Buy less junk and save the planet
All that stuff we buy fuels greenhouse gas emissions somewhere on the planet. Ask yourself if you really need it—whatever it is.
- Building community one hubcap at a time
A bandshell made out of car hoods and other reclaimed material is becoming a popular meetingplace in the Panhandle.
