Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 San Francisco gets even greener San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom got jiggy with eco-measures this week. He signed into a law a requirement that the city's taxi fleet be converted to low-emission vehicles by 2011; ordered all city departments to purchase 100 percent recycled paper and reduce overall paper use by 20 percent by 2010; and announced his support for a tidal-energy project in the San Francisco Bay, despite a recent study's conclusions that the project would be more expensive than it's worth. Newsom has proposed strict green-building standards for his city and will submit a carbon tax to voters; folks in don't-call-it-Frisco also live happily without plastic bags or toys containing bisphenol A and phthalates. Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. Confucius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
