to provide insurance for their homes? it is solution i know the industry but don't know a is there a way that can actually be usedeyemporary um for example i'm not again like ideas out there; right? for example universities owns the land and people come house don't own the lands what lease is a very specific r those housing that goes to to make sure they provide affordable housing for the so like i know you see systemsreas have the same thing we might long term because you need the housing and childcare they're essential issue something that comes and goesarket picks up and

people take jobs i other places we can lose people that need childcare. i don't know march you havehose but like to see um, is there way to come up with ideas are brooirm them o >> yeah. i'll say in terms of types of policies decisions we really haven't worked on those had had is we are buil candidate we'll take them around the neighborhoods options i can tell you the sales tax kind of slipped from what: in the bay area we can give them had 234e will pay for fires insurance but um, they'll see a reduction ifouse in the bay area or anotherrban area in the property taxes so from our trying to educate

people about is available a had they can expect if they'reing in i'm the long run butíq with fire ankle an increase cost a realistic expectation i don't have policies solutions. and maybe policy solutions can be something that we as a commission beyond that the city think about i this guys should definitely come to u years on policies and help you, you to easier time kroouts candidates someone might have options. >> thank you for your >> stacey. >> i had questions on the same slide asyt commi knew we have housing and housin in around camp market andousing for other limits housing we at the camp

change worse. the good news is there are a lotof things that you can be doing particularly composting and the the compost is actually applied to the soil, it hasty to reverse climate change byhe atmosphere and into the soil and the t radios."sat is breaking right now around that. >> in t 90s san francisco hired some to analyze the material san francisco w landfill. they did a waste characterization study and that showed that most of the material san francisco was sending to landfill could be composted. scraps coffee grounds and egg shells and sticks andfrom gardening. together re-ecology in sted this curbside composting program and we were the first in the country to collect food scraps separately from other trashug# into compost. it turns out it was one of the best things we ever di it kept 2.5 million tons of material out of the landfill

produced a beautiful nutrient rich compost that has gone on tounsdreds of farms orchards and vineyards. s way you can manage your food scraps and prodmethane. that is part of the solution. that gives people hope that oing something to slow down climate >> i have been into organic farming my whn we started planting trees it was natural to have compost from re-ecology. compost is how i work and the biology or the microbes feed the plant and our job as regenerative farmers is to feed the microbes with compost and they will feed the much like in business where you say take care of your es and your employees will take carolinas of your take care of the soil microbes and soil life and th áat feed and take care of the plants. >> they love compost is a nutrient rich soil amendment. it is food for thephotosynthesis. pulling carbon from the atmosphere. pushing it back into the soil and the roots exude carbo helping

turn a farm into a carbon sink. del. delegations from 135 countries have come to and it actually helped inspire an california, senate bill 1383. which requires cities in california to reduce the compostable materials they send to landfills by75% by 2025. and san francisco helped inspire this and this is nation-leading policy. >> because we have su an immature relationship with nature and the natural cycles and the c cycles government does have to step in and protect the commons, which s, sir and so forth. -- forest and so that our largest corporations are a significant and that the corporate community has significant role to play in reducing carbon emissi unfortunately, we have no idea and no requirement that they disclose anything about the footprint the core operation and

the basic notion that large corporations should beon footprint. it makes all the sense in the world and but is controversial. any time you are proposing ag to make real change and that will changeor because we know that when corporations have to disclose and be transparent and have that kind ofty, there is going to be opposition. >> we have to provide technicalo comply with the state legislation ve a food donation program. we keep the edible food sting it because we don't want to compost edible foo food to get eaten within san francisco and feed lks in need. it is very uniquefrancisco we have such a broad and expansive educa city. but also that we haveners in government and nonprofit that are dedicated to this unified school district, we have a and educators throughout the science department that are building it into t making it easy for teachers

to teach about this. we work together to build a ents so that when they are really young in pre-k they are just and wonder and beauty of nature and they are co animals and things they would naturally find love d affinity towards. as they get older concepts that keep them engaged like so and people and economics. >> california is experiencing many years dry periods. that is really hard on farms and is realompost helps farms get through these difficult compost is a natural sponge that attracts and so when we put compost around the roots oft holds any moisture there from rainfall or it helps farms make that corner and that food. you can grow 30% more food in times of drought in you farm naturally with compost. farms anit are very hip now to this fact that creating g compost to farms helps communities surv and get through those dry periods. >> here is the thing.

soil health climate health one conversation. if we grow our food pture all that excess carbon in the atmosphere and store it in the soil, that will create nutrient dense foods that will care of most of our civilized diseases. so it's one conversation. people have to understand that they are nature. they can't separate. we started prowling the high d by the 1930s 60 year, we turned it t that is what ignorance looks like when you don't pay attention to nature. bats last. so people have to wake up. > get frustrated because we have th tat you have to be completely sustainable24/7 in all aspects of your life. it is not about being per about making a change here, a change there in your life. maybe saying i don't have to drive to that particular place today. today i am going to take the bu walk. it is about having us is stainable in -- it is about having sustainability in mind. don't have
