The tour is about half full right now, so I'd like to request your support in spreading the word. Daily Acts Sustainability Tours can be a great way to introduce friends and relatives to permaculture/sustainability concepts in an accessible/experiential format. If you can think about someone in your organization or anyone that might be interested in such a tour, please pass this note on to them. Thanks, -Kevin 415-999-5354 http://www.daily-acts.org/tours.html#_4 Sunday, May 6th, 10am to 3pm, $35 Come on a walking tour of a San Francisco neighborhood and see the abundant potential of cityscape luscious organic living, duckfull, cluckful entertainment and cooperative housing. Visit a trio of lush gardens emphasizing perennial polyculture foodscapes and hear about metaphysical composting, water wise living, preference pruning and fowl fun. Along the walk we'll showcase some de-concrete direct actions we can all take part in to recharge our aquifers, clean city air, provide habitat, and grow food, fiber and FARMaceuticals. We'll start and end the walk at a couple of locally owned businesses where we can meet eco-entrepreneurs manifesting their vision for Fair Trade, organic, local commerce in the urban ecosystem. Local permaculture designer and Daily Acts board member Kevin Bayuk will act as tour guide on this hike through the Haight Ashbury community where visions of peace and love linger on in the quiet backyard oasis, the vacant lots and reclaimed sidewalks. Along the way we'll meet the Purple House collective, Redwood Mary Bull, Barak of Rockin' Java and more. Join us for this urban day of delight!

Re: [Sustain] Agenda, SF Plenary & SFGP Sustainability WG Presentation
by Eric Brooks 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hi all, I have been wondering why no one has replied on the SFGP response to the proposal that we do a Sustainability WG presentation to the plenary; and I am noticing that the agenda is both packed, and in dispute, and that this is why no one has replied. So, here is our proposal: First, the SFGP Working Group has a proposed presentation 'Beware The Biofuels Industrial Complex' and we are ready to line up a key speaker and/or panel on this topic. On fitting into the schedule, my proposal is that we plan to do our presentation at the same time as one of the Breakout sessions for working groups (probably on Saturday) and then invite all attendees who do not intend to attend one of the Breakout sessions to come to the Sustainability Working Group presentation as an alternative. That would give our presentation lots of time to fully get our subject covered comprehensively (and possibly allow us time to get into other greenwashing topics like PG&E, clean coal, etc. as well). With that said, we also feel that the biofuels problem is so serious that we would still like to get scheduled as a central item instead so that the entire body of attendees at the plenary can be informed on this critical issue. Please let us know right away, your thoughts on this proposal, so that we can start lining up our speaker/panel.

[Sustain] Fwd: Commercial Biodiesel Station Opens As City Takes Lead in Biodiesel Conversion
by Eric Brooks 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

http://www.beyondchron.org/articles/Commercial_Biodiesel_Station_Opens_As_C… Commercial Biodiesel Station Opens As City Takes Lead in Biodiesel Conversion by E. "Doc" Smith, 2007-04-25 At the opening of the City's first fleets-only biodiesel fueling station yesterday, Mayor Gavin Newsom called on “every municipality in the country to do what we have done” as he highlighted the City’s remarkable progress in converting its own fleet of diesel vehicles to a biodiesel fuel blend and in moving toward a Fall launch of the PUC’s program to provide some of that fuel by recycling grease from restaurants. Newsom also announced that all of the recycling trucks that operate in the City are now running on a biodiesel blend. Local fleets are now able to pump B20 grade biodiesel via a card lock system at the Olympian station at 23rd and Third Streets in San Francisco. Although private vehicles are not able to use this station, biodiesel is available locally from the San Francisco BioFuels Cooperative (SFBC), People’s Fuel, and Berkeley's Biofuel Oasis. San Francisco, which has taken a leadership role in implementing local solutions to the problems of global warming and sustainability, is ahead of schedule in converting its diesel vehicles to a biodiesel blend, a goal that Mayor Newsom announced a year ago. Currently 39% of the fleet has been converted to B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% petrodiesel). Even at 20%, biodiesel contributes significantly to reductions in pollution, especially greenhouse gasses. The City plans to convert it's entire fleet by year’s end and to move to higher blends of biodiesel as soon as possible. Mayor Newsom and Ben Jordan of People's Fuel, a worker-owned cooperative Jared Blumenfeld, Director of the San Francisco Department of the Environment, urged fleets and school buses to take advantage of this opportunity to reduce the city's pollution, particularly in the Third Street corridor where 1 in 6 children suffer from asthma caused by diesel pollution. E. "Doc" Smith is a musician and recording engineer who has worked with the likes of Brian Eno, Madonna, Warren Zevon, Mickey Hart and Jimmy Cliff. He is also the inventor of the musical instrument, the Drummstick, a member of the SFBC, and drives a 2002 VW Beetle, which runs exclusively on B99 biodiesel. He can be reached at drummstick(a)earthlink.net.

[Sustain] Reminders: Transpo (Tonight 7pm) Sustainability (Tomorrow 7:30pm) SFGP Office
by Eric Brooks 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

Details below. Please send a quick reply if you are planning to attend either or both... **Transpo** The new -Transportation- Working Group meeting is next Wed, Apr 25, 7pm at the Green Party office. Likely topics of discussion are Free Muni, Daly and Peskins' new Muni Reform Charter Amendment (see http://www.sfbg.com/printable_entry.php?entry_id=3404 ) and how the Global Climate Crisis gives us a key organizing window to push hard for a massive increase in transit. Be there with bells on, and help change the future of the world! **Sustainability** The -Sustainability- Working Group meeting is next Thursday Apr 26, 7:30pm at the Green Party office. The main agenda item will be to strategise a plan for a Green counter-attack to the concerted promotion of nukes, 'clean coal', biofuels, carbon credit shell games, hybrid vehicles, and PG&E greenwashing media blitz, that are all currently taking the world and San Francisco by storm; dangerously masquerading as solutions to the global climate crisis. (We will also discuss the request from some CC members that we prepare a presentation for the state meeting in May.) There will also be an exciting update on the now imminent Community Choice Energy legislation/project, for a 50% renewable electricity powered San Francisco by 2020. Other topics of discussion will be: 1) The looming Williams natural gas turbine and Transbay Cable installations, both of which would promote a huge increase in cheap fossil fuel availability - and threaten the Southeast side with yet more toxic pollution. 2) A quick update on the happy death of pro-nuke and pro liquid natural gas moves in California. and 3) How the Global Climate Crisis gives us a key organizing window to push hard for a massive increase in transit.

[Sustain] (fwd) The Helios Talks: 5:30 pm Monday, April 23, Berkeley Repertory Theatre
by John-Marc Chandonia 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

Hi, I've added the Transpo and Sustainability meetings this week to our website. There are some interesting talks on biofuels coming up in Berkeley (near the BART, so pretty easy to get to). Steve Chu's talk is tomorrow--he's the head of Berkeley National Lab, where I work, and he's a big supporter of biofuels research (although not necessarily of the current production methods). Whether you're skeptical of these technologies or not, I think you'll find his talk interesting. I've attached a poster for the series of talks.

[Sustain] Sustainability Working Group Meeting Next Thursday, Apr 26, 7:30pm

Hey all, The Sustainability Working Group meeting is next Thursday Apr 26, 7:30pm at the Green Party office. The main agenda item will be to strategise a plan for a Green counter-attack to the concerted promotion of nukes, 'clean coal', biofuels, carbon credit shell games, hybrid vehicles, and PG&E greenwashing media blitz, that are all currently taking the world and San Francisco by storm; dangerously masquerading as solutions to the global climate crisis. There will also be an exciting update on the now imminent Community Choice Energy legislation/project, for a 50% renewable electricity powered San Francisco by 2020. Other topics of discussion will be: 1) The looming Williams natural gas turbine and Transbay Cable installations, both of which would promote a huge increase in cheap fossil fuel availability - and threaten the Southeast side with yet more toxic pollution. 2) A quick update on the happy death of pro-nuke and pro liquid natural gas moves in California. and 3) How the Global Climate Crisis gives us a key organizing window to push hard for a massive increase in transit. peace, Eric B
