San Francisco Clean Cities Coalition (SFCCC)
Newsletter
Founded in 1993 the Clean Cities Coalition is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) nationally coordinated and locally focused environmental initiative to encourage local decision-making, transition to reduce petroleum consumption and promote alternative transportation. The main goal of the Clean Cities Coalition is to reduce petroleum consumption in the United States by 2.5 billion gallons each year until the year 2020.
Throughout the United States, more than 8,400 stakeholders participate with 100 Clean Cities Coalitions which includes the Bay Area (East Bay, San Jose and San Francisco). In San Francisco our dynamic group of Clean Cities Coalition Stakeholders represents dedicated businesses, local governments, organizations, as well as state and federal agencies contributing to the reduction of petroleum consumption in San Francisco.
With our stakeholders the San Francisco Clean Cities Coalition builds partnerships to adopt petroleum reducing programs, which:
- Develop and use of alternative and renewable fuels.
- Implement of idle-reduction measures.
- Promote improved fuel economy.
- Encourage the development and use of new clean technologies.
The San Francisco Clean Cities Coalition (SFCCC) makes an important contribution to the overall reduction in petroleum consumption in the United States. San Francisco is committed to using more alternative fuel vehicles, developing clean fuels, and improved transportation options. Find out more about how you and your organization can become a SFCCC stakeholder and participate in this program.
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.
