City
of San Francisco -- Department of the Environment
“The Department of the Environment was created by the new
City Charter, which was passed by the voters in the November 1995 election. It is
currently setting up its environmental programs, and in addition is responsible for
overseeing plans for the city’s long-term environmental sustainability and educating
the public on environmental issues.”
Sustainable
San Francisco Home Page
“Sustainable San Francisco is a community effort to create
a sustainable future for the City of San Francisco. Organized by the Commission on
San Francisco’s Environment, the City Planning Department, the nonprofit organization
Sustainable City, President of the Board of Supervisors Kevin Shelley, and many other
elected officials, individuals and organizations. Nearly 350 individuals have prepared
a draft plan to preserve and enhance The City’s long-term environmental health and
quality of life.”
Urban
Ecology - Blueprint for a Sustainable Bay Area
“In shaping its blueprint, Urban Ecology has reached
out to hundreds of individuals, representatives of local, regional, state and federal
government, the business community and numerous community-based organizations working
on scores of related issues. What has resulted is a remarkable effort of collaborative
listening, learning and debate. Blueprint for a Sustainable Bay Area
is the first step of what is an evolving and on-going process.”

E. F. Schumacher Society
“The E.F. Schumacher Society was founded in 1980 to promote
the ideas inherent in the decentralist tradition and to implement them in practical
programs that link economics, ecology, and culture. Named for Fritz Schumacher, whose
1973 book Small is Beautiful: Economics as If People Mattered continues to influence
new generations, the society has developed model self-help economic programs in its
home region of the Berkshires.”

The Center
for Livable Communities
“The Center for Livable Communities is a national initiative
of the Local Government Commission and is a principal partner in the Environmental
Protection Agency’s Transportation Partners program. The Local Government Commission
or LGC for short, is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, membership organization of elected
officials, city and county staff, and other interested individuals throughout California
and other states (with over 600 current members), the Local Government Commission
helps local governments identify and implement solutions to today’s problems.
In 1991, working with some of the country’s leading architects
and planners, the Local Government Commission developed the “Ahwahnee Principles”
for resource-efficient local and regional land-use planning. The Center grew out
of the Commission’s work helping local officials implement these principles.
Realizing that economic vitality and livability are inextricably
linked, the LGC followed up by developing a set of Economic Development Principles,
with guidance from numerous nationally recognized economic development experts.”
The
Preservation Institute: What We Believe
“During the Nineteenth Century, most people still lived at a near-subsistence
level, and rapid economic growth was needed to provide everyone basic education,
health care, housing, and other necessities. The factory system was increasing production
so dramatically that many people believed every aspect of life ultimately would be
modernized on the factory model. Health care, child care, education, transportation
and housing would all be mass-produced by specialized technological organizations
managed by experts.
Today, most people recognize that modernization and growth
can harm the natural environment. The Preservation Institute believes that modernization
also damages the social environment -- that many of our social problems are
side-effects of modernization.”

to other Healthy Cities
“The Healthy Cities project was begun by WHO’s Regional
Office for Europe to develop local strategies and action for health for all. One
of the main objectives is to change the ways in which individuals, communities, private
and voluntary organizations and local governments think about, understand and make
decisions about health. Ultimately the Healthy Cities project aims to enhance the
physical, mental, social and environmental wellbeing of the people who live and work
in the cities. The project is a long-term international development effort that seeks
to put health on the agenda of decision-makers in cities and to build a strong lobby
for public health at the local level. A fundamental principle of the approach is
the recognition that city government can play a key role in promoting and maintaining
the health of its citizens and has a unique capacity to mobilize action for sustainable
development.”

“The International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives
(ICLEI) is the international environmental agency for local governments. We know
from concrete experience that local actions can have a global impact. Global consumption
and waste production is increasingly concentrated in urban areas. The concentration
of people in cities provides unparalleled opportunities to both meet human needs
and reduce and manage wastes. Meanwhile, by strengthening rural communities we can
reduce the pattern of ecological destruction and population migration which is often
a result of rural poverty and desperation.
Local governments, in partnership with their residents and
local businesses, are taking action. ICLEI was established in 1990 through a partnership
of the United Nations Environment Programme, the International Union of Local Authorities
(IULA), and the Center for Innovative Diplomacy. ICLEI maintains a formal association
with IULA. We welcome you to join and support our movement!”
The Change Project: Healthy Cities
“You know what a healthy community is. Somewhere, you’ve
experienced it - a community that nurtures its members, that makes us all more than
we were. But what makes a community healthy? What builds health, it turns out, also
builds community, safety, wealth, and families. The health of a community grows from
how many children people have, in what kind of families, with how much money and
education, from a sense of choice, and from friends and family who give life meaning,
from clean water and air, and basic medicine, from families who eat well, are well
housed, secure from crime, and not deranged by drugs or alcohol.
Building a healthy community requires all the energy the
community can muster, from everyone who can make a difference - but it can be done.
There are ways to do it. This powerful idea has taken hold in over a thousand cities
and towns around the world. This is how to build a world that works.”

creativity and resources. In serving this movement, the Coalition is a strategic
linkage of these local forces. In its two primary directions of activity, it brings
together scores of local, state and national organizations, collaborative partnerships
and citizens to assist these local efforts in creating healthier communities and
improving the well-being of families and children.”

trip to a farm pond in southern Minnesota discovered large numbers of frogs with
misshapen, extra, or missing limbs. About 50% of the northern leopard frogs they
caught that day were malformed. ... Malformed amphibians are not a new phenomenon,
but reports were only infrequent until recently. Since 1995, reports have become
increasingly common, and a number of scientists -- herpetologists, developmental
biologists, aquatic toxicologists, and parasitologists -- are looking for the cause(s).
... The mission of the North American Reporting Center for Amphibian Malformations
is to facilitate the transfer of information on malformed amphibians.”

Swallow
“Swallows are dark blue above with a metallic sheen.
They have brown or chestnut foreheads, chin and throat with a blue collar on the
breast - the rest of the underparts are dull white. The adults have a deeply forked
tail (juveniles less deep) with exaggeratedly long outer feathers on the male --
almost the consistency of wire at the tip. The tail has white marks (windows) around
it near the tip.”
San
Francisco Estuary Wetlands
“Wetlands provide invaluable habitat for fish and wildlife,
improve water quality, protect urban and agricultural areas from flooding, and serve
many other vital functions within the San Francisco Estuary. Despite their central
role in the Estuary’s ecology, however, many wetlands face degradation or destruction
due to urban encroachment. The San Francisco Estuary Project seeks to promote conservation,
restoration, and environmentally sound management of the Estuary’s wetlands.”
San Bruno Mountain:
Preservation of an Ecological Island
“San Bruno Mountain is a 3600 acre wildlife refuge in a sea
of urbanization. At the summit, the Mountain rises 1314 feet above sea level with
a main ridge extending 4 miles long. It is surrounded on all sides by cities: Daly
City, Colma, South San Francisco, and Brisbane. It is home to three rare (two endangered
and one threatened) species of butterflies, and 10 species of rare plants.
The factors contributing to the Mountain’s high biological
diversity are its variable topography and microclimates. The main ridge separates
the steeper and dryer southeast slopes from the more gradual and wetter northwest
facing slopes. The southeast side is dominated by native and introduced grassland
vegetation, while the northwest side is comprised of mostly coastal scrub, and riparian
scrub/woodland plant communities.”

Mission of The Committee
For Nuclear Responsibility
“One of CNR’s priorities is to make actual progress in
preventing cancer, by helping other groups and individuals to eliminate the careless
xray overdosing which occurs today in medicine. Xray dosage can be cut in half (or
more) without interfering with good diagnostic information. CNR supplies the evidence
for such action, and regards “getting the job done” as an ethical imperative ---
because every action which reduces unnecessary irradiation is guaranteed to prevent
a share of future cancers which would otherwise occur.
A second function of CNR is helping other groups and individuals
to prevent additional nuclear pollution of the planet. The importance of such prevention
is supported by CNR’s detailed proof that there is no safe dose (threshold dose)
of ionizing radiation with respect to causing mutations and human cancer.”

City Farmer’s Urban Agriculture
Notes
“Our non-profit society promotes urban food production
and environmental conservation from a small office in downtown Vancouver, British
Columbia and from our demonstration food garden in nearby Kitsilano, a residential
neighbourhood.
Urban Agriculture is a new and growing field that is not
completely defined yet even by those closest to it. It concerns itself with all manner
of subjects from rooftop gardens, to composting toilets, to air pollution and community
development. It encompasses mental and physical health, entertainment, building codes,
rats, fruit trees, herbs, recipes and much more.”
Food Runners
“Food Runners is an eight year old San Francisco volunteer
organization that picks up excess food from restaurants, bakeries, markets, hotels,
conventions, even food photograhers and delivers it to feeding programs in the city
of San Francisco. We need volunteers to pick up and deliver the donated food. A pick
up and delivery is called a “run”. A run usually takes less than an hour. Volunteers
use their own cars and are dispatched by other volunteers who pick up donation offers
from a central message number, then make calls from their own homes.”
Meals on
Wheels of San Francisco
“Meals on Wheels was started in 1970 by a group of volunteers
who worked out of neighborhood kitchens to prepare and deliver meals to their frail,
homebound neighbors. As the need for this service outstripped volunteers’ capacity
to provide for it, professional drivers, social workers and administrative staff
were hired, and meals were prepared by a hospital nutrition staff, and later by a
corporate caterer.”
American Farmland Trust
“How we eat tomorrow depends on what we do today. Most
Americans take for granted the cornucopia on our grocery shelves. Whether it is a
gallon of milk, a loaf of bread, or a head of lettuce, the fruits of a farmer’s labor
are always available to consumers with a few dollars to spend. Yet our best farmland
-- and the food and fiber, jobs, open space and wildlife habitat it provides -- has
been vanishing. In its place have come poorly planned subdivisions, shopping malls
and traffic-clogged roads. On Capitol Hill, at USDA, and around the country, American
Farmland Trust is looked to as a responsible voice for the majority of America’s
farmers that care about the problem of farmland loss and the future of American agriculture.”

San Francisco, CA
- Friends of the Urban Forest
“Neighbors sign up, attend a couple of meetings, pick
their tree and get ready to dig. On Planting Day, they’re joined by FUF’s corps of
trained volunteers for a Saturday morning of rewarding work and a potluck lunch.
Then, as the trees grow, FUF’s experts remain on call to advise you on proper tree
care. The group even has a low-cost maintenance program to provide professional tree
care by a qualified arborist for FUF-assisted trees.
FUF’s public-private partnerships have brought more than
15,000 trees to San Francisco neighborhoods--and will add another 2,800 this year.
Because it’s all done at a cost of a fraction of commercial plantings, tree planting
dollars yield more boughs for the buck.”

collecting dust in your closet or a corporation with a storage room filled with 286
machines, Computer Recycling can use what you have.
We accept computer hardware, software, and manuals of any
age and in any condition. We accept parts of machines or entire systems. No brand
or platform is too obscure for us! Working machines that can be processed quickly
help us “fast track” computers into local schools.”
Computer Recycling Project,
Incorporated
“Our mission statement is to acquire obsolete and unused
computer equipment for distribution to non-profit organizations, educational programs,
NGO’s, and low-income individuals in order to foster computer literacy and support

Transportation |
San Francisco Muni
Transit First San Francisco
“Mayor Willie Brown made fixing the MUNI one of his campaign
promises -- so far there has been little to show for it other than drivers being
a little more polite and calling out stops. The public gets excuses, but not a reliable
public transportation system.”

Protecting
Your Property From Erosion
“The loss of soil from a construction site results in
loss of topsoil, minerals and nutrients, and it causes ugly cuts and gullies in the
landscape. Surface runoff and the materials it carries with it clog our culverts,
flood channels and streams. Sometimes it destroys wildlife and damages recreational
areas such as lakes and reservoirs.
Such erosion costs the home construction industry, local
governments, and homeowners of the Bay Area millions of dollars a year. We have to
pay for damage to roads and property and our tax money has to be spent on cleaning
out sediment from storm drains, channels, lakes, and the Bay. As an example, road
and home building in the Oakland hills above Lake Temescal filled the lake to such
an extent that it had to be dredged in 1979 at a public cost of $750,000.”
Economy and Economic Development |
City
of San Francisco -- Office of the Controller
“San Francisco’s economy continues to demonstrate strong,

people visiting San Francisco increased to more than 15 million, representing an
average daily population of more 120,000. These visitors spent over $5 billion in
the City, over $10 million per day.
Employment, business and development trends are similarly
optimistic. San Francisco’s unemployment rate in June, 1996. was 5.6% and has shown
a continued decline from a high of 7.2% in 1992. Likewise, the office vacancy rate
of 8.8% is the lowest in a decade.”
