 | The postman only rings once |
 If you live in San Francisco, you should be getting this handy brochure in the mail any day now. From over 100 convenient drop-off sites to a free home collection service, the brochure lists ways to get rid of all that stuff that doesn't go in the black, blue or green bins. Keep it as a reference, or use our online EcoFinder to find out what to do with the dead batteries, e-waste, leftover paint, and other toxic household products you've been wondering about. |
| SF Approved products for the City and you |
We're excited to introduce SF Approved, a new online purchasing catalogue created for San Francisco City departments, but useful for anyone wanting to purchase healthier, environmentally friendly products.
From energy-efficient computers to low-mercury light bulbs to the least-toxic cleaning products, SF Approved is a one-stop shop for products that meet San Francisco's rigorous health and environmental standards. Spread the word! |
| Pssst! You could be saving on your commute |
 If you work for a San Francisco employer with more than 20 employees, you are eligible to save up to 40% on your transit costs using Commuter Benefits. Purchasing transit passes using pre-tax dollars is an easy way to save money and protect the environment. If your employer isn't offering this great benefit, please contact Adeline Canez at 415-355-3729 and she'll help them get set up. |
| Introducing SF Environment's new Director |
Join SF Environment staff in wishing a warm welcome to Melanie Nutter, our new Director, who starts later this month.
 "Melanie brings years of experience and stewardship on environmental policy," said Mayor Newsom.
"Her knowledge of government and her role in building coalitions to promote major environmental policy initiatives will be invaluable as we chart our City's efforts toward a greener, more sustainable environment and green jobs economy."
Welcome, Melanie! |
