Earth Day tabling and Beach Impeach Flashmob Project Part II
by susan_e_vaughan＠juno.com 14 Apr '07

14 Apr '07

Hello Everyone, This is just a reminder about the next two tabling events for the San Francisco Green Party. We will be in Speedway Meadow in Golden Gate Park on Sunday, April 22, for the Green Apple Music and Arts Festival, celebrating Earth Day. Set up is from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. We will probably be packing up to leave anywhere from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Then on Saturday, April 28, we plan to go to Ocean Beach at Fulton and table at the Beach Impeach Flashmob event. We will probably try to be there at about 8 a.m., maybe a little later. Tabling can be lots of fun! We register voters, spread information about Green values and elected officials, raise money, and hang out together. If you can help during any part of either day, give me a ring at (415) 668-3119 or respond to this email. At our last event, we had about ten people over the course of the day. We look really strong when we have a lot of people coming out to table. Hope you can be a part of the fun. Sue Vaughan (415) 668-3119

Re: [Transpo] [Sustain] Peak Soil: Cellulosic ethanol, biofuels unsustainable and a threat to America

This is great. One drawback; I didn't see that it addresses the algae question. We need a specific section added to this report to strike down the building excitement around algae. cheers Eric brumm(a)brumm.com wrote: > Alice Friedemann's latest report (she gave an overview of this at our > last SFOA meeting) is now available online - for those who couldn't > make last night's "Myths of Biofuels" presentation, and for those who did: > > http://culturechange.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=107&… > > _______________________________________________ > Sustainability mailing list > Sustainability(a)sfgreens.org > https://list.sfgreens.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sustainability >

by Dave Snyder 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Reception for Dan Sider, Director of City Greening Wednesday, April 11, 6-8 pm Livable City/SFBC offices 995 Market Street (@6th), 15th Floor Bicycle parking in the office; bring your bikes up in the elevator. Free to Livable City, SFBC, and Walk SF members; $5+ donation requested for non members (or join one of the groups!) Livable City is pleased to host Dan Sider, San Francisco's new Director of City Greening, here at our office. The Mayor's Office of City Greening was created in 2005 to lead San Francisco's efforts in physical greening of the public realm. The Greening Office, a component of the Mayor's Livable City Initiative, focuses on the quality of our streets, sidewalks, parks and plazas. With more than one-quarter of the City's total land devoted to public rights-of-way, greening plans and projects offer unique opportunities to improve the lives of all San Franciscans. As part of these efforts, the Office functions as a key facilitator of inter-agency collaboration on such matters as urban design, sustainability, transportation, and land use. Come by and meet Dan, and join an informal conversation about how we can make our streets and public spaces greener and more livable.

VERY Important - Postponed!: Press Conference For Solar-Wind Powered S.F. POSTPONED
by Eric Brooks 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

*VERY Important - Postponed!: Press Conference For Solar-Wind Powered S.F. Postponed!* Hi all, Due to circumstances completely out of our control, the introduction of the Community Choice solar and wind energy legislation mentioned below will be briefly delayed until next Tuesday, April 17. Please do not show up today, as no event will taking place. We are uncertain as to whether or not the City Hall press conference to celebrate this legislation will be held on that Tuesday or on a different date and time. Please stay tuned for a more specific announcement. Our apologies for the false alarm! Eric Brooks Campaign Coordinator Our City Previously, Our City wrote: Next Tuesday, April 10, 12 Noon, at the Polk Street entrance of San Francisco City Hall - At long last there will be a historic announcement of the introduction of the final implementing legislation for the Community Choice Energy project, to make San Francisco 50% Solar and Wind powered within the next decade! Join Supervisors Tom Ammiano and Ross Mirkarimi, Local Power, Our City, Sierra Club, Greenpeace and many others, as we announce the introduction of this bold new project! /_ _/_DETAILS_ WHEN: 12 Noon, Tuesday, April 10 WHERE: San Francisco City Hall - Polk Street Side (off Polk between Grove & McAllister - From Civic Center MUNI/BART cross United Nations Plaza to City Hall) WEAR: A sky blue shirt or jacket if you have one - for visual effect (we have some t-shirts available) _RSVP:_ To coordinate with us, if you plan to attend, please reply to this message with 'I'll Be There' in the subject heading and your contact information in the reply. _WHY THIS EVENT IS SO IMPORTANT_ Historic Vote At Last Approaches After many years of hard work by Local Power, Our City, Sierra Club, Greenpeace, The SF Green Party, Supervisors Tom Ammiano and Ross Mirkarimi, and many other organizers, San Francisco's Board of Supervisors is at last only a month away from a final vote on the project plan for Community Choice Energy, which will make San Francisco the most Solar and Wind powered city in the world, running on 50% clean renewable energy, within the next decade. PG&E Could Addict Us To Dirty Energy If We Don't Act Now! The California Public Utilities Commission has given PG&E the opening to beat renewable energy to the punch, and force every city in California to pay for 8 new fossil fuel power plants, /and a dangerous 30 year extension of its nuclear power production at Diablo Canyon/. PG&E is about to join the Williams company to bring in massive amounts of liquid natural gas for electricity production through a huge pipeline planned to be built from Coos Bay Oregon to Northern California. _DETAILS_ WHEN: 12 Noon, Tuesday, April 10 WHERE: San Francisco City Hall - Polk Street Side (off Polk between Grove & McAllister - From Civic Center MUNI/BART cross United Nations Plaza to City Hall) WEAR: A sky blue shirt or jacket if you have one - for visual effect (we have some t-shirts available) _RSVP:_ To coordinate with us, if you plan to attend, please reply to this message with 'I'll Be There' in the subject heading and your contact information in the reply.
