in an appropriate way in appropriate near anybody who is elected official is in my district and hurry up. with a lot of work a lot lead bithe secretary of transportation and my good friend pete, we have been muraling 1.2 trillion out of the door. for roads and bridge and airports and waterways, high speed internet so a girl is in the back in the car doing home work where she have the knowledge she needs to lead us in the future and building a clean energy economy special appropriate further climate challengeless we have. that is when we are in the business of doing now. rebuilding the country from the bottom up and a part of that of course, is the roads, public transportation and the bridge this is we all ride on. >> secretary of trpgdz will talk b more about this bridge but bridges other thing this is connect us.

physically. they connect us spiritualy and in ways the symbolism of this bridge is important. when i was i boy i came in this city with my dad and mom and brother and cyst and grandma my daddy made sure we did not spends too much monnet restaurant down stairs. and i remember crossing this bridge for the first time. and being in awe with it and the mayor this incredible city the great steps admit world and understanding how important it was in the just to the people of san francisco but to the people of world. who think about thes of america than i been this bridge. and so we have a lot of work to do the secretary has been charged by the president getting the money out. rebuilding the roads and bridge and airports which we have laid down in an aggressive way. i think up to 2700 bridges are repaired as we speak. there are some bridges this are

more iconic than other and important for the reasons that he will state when he come up here. this announcement is a 400 million dollars announcement to make sure that essential low you move from shock pads to brake pados this bridge so that when that bad thing this you think might happen appropriate for the worse and hope for the best you near a position people will be safe. transportation will continue. lives will not be lost. jobs will go up rather than down and people get to and from work and picking up kids and getting to church on time and making sure they get from where they are and where they are going in a secure way with new technology, new infrastructure. think burglar resilience necessary to make america strong when the infrastructure is strong the economy is strategy the initial security is strong and america maintains the place of leading the world. i will close with tht secretary and i travel all over.

we have accomplices to go. there is river low a time when we argue who will go to an accomplice. because there is a lot of work to do. i told him there was no chance he was going to san francisco without me. and -- besides the fact i love this place i will tell you why. there was a speaker once sam rayburn who said any jack ass can kick down a barn it takes a great carpenter to build one you have the greatest carpenter in the world to my left. i have been knowing and blessed to know this fantastic woman my entire life our families go become a long way and many of you know catrain almost destroyed new orleans. we were in our darkest hour this one went down to new orleans 4 times to be with us and never

left my side or the side of the people of new orleans. now you already know how fantastic she is. but we would not be here today without here. i would nod be here without her guidance, love and commitment. and although she stepped down as the speaker of the house,s i think i might get close to quoting you somebody asked you and i said i was the most powerful person in wish washil be the most fluential person i possibly can be as we go forward. madam speaker, i want to tell you how much i love you. i'm not introducing and i'm introducing the secretary. but i came here to tell you on behalf of me and my family and new orleans and the president, thank you we love you and appreciate everything you have done for us the reason we are here with this money because he is the twhoon made this happen. god bless you all and with that,

i will introduce my partner and my friends fellow mayor doing an unbelievable job on behalf of president rebuilding america and talk about this announcement. secretary pete budegege. thank you. mayor. for your friendship and leadership and shaping everything from clone bauer to those who now lack access to it affordable internet. shaning our work in transportation. usually we divvy up accomplices to go there are hundreds of projects but you could in the keep both of us away to be here celebrating the great bridges we're thrilled to be a part of this today. you want to thank speaker pelosi without whom we will not be not just in terms of the project but when the country is doing.

a testament to the extraordinary effectiveness that you have demonstrated as a national lead exert somebody i admired balancing that with your commitment to the very specific accomplice that trusted to you represent it for so long. we would not be able to the do any of this without that leadership. it was said once once a mayor always a mayor i'm grateful to be here with mayor breed a terrific partner on transportation improvements under way and the house and senate members who representative the area. glad we have a strong delegation that understands the perjuries of infrastructure. we have representatives huffman and mullin. congratulations on your election. several others were in the i believe to be here and the senators. we are able to announce this good work here and across the country a direct result of their

support for the president's vision for a bipartisan infrastructure law. you in we have moved from talking about when will help to the happen around the country. dennis and your team thank you for the vital piece of america. and thank you rudy gonzalez and through you we rescue noise all of the workers going to take skills. 750 feet in the air to get this project done. you were presence reminds us we are not just building infrastructure we are building live livelihoods. from the moment it opened this bridge is one of the most essential and recognizable in our country. its location, proportions and design. make it in the just the denigz of the bay area but emblems of the united states itself. even people never been to california can recognize its place the cathedrals of american

infrastructure. this reason it deserves attention when is t is enduring role at stake. significance of the golden gate bridge is in the just a matter of the vivid accomplice in our american land scape t. it is very much a working peels of infrastructure and essential at that. the bridge plays a role in the safe movement of people and goods across the region. carries 100,000 vehicles a day. then million a year. half a million freight trucks including the water born freight in oakland which will grow and a vital pedestrian and bicycle lane. like all iconic infrastructure symbolic powers innerwoven with real concrete capacity to help deliver prosperity. we also know without improvements the elements would

be vulnerable each passing year. i think it is fitting in this first round of bridge investment program. the energy ship programs president biden five year infrastructure peculiarage, we are looking after this asset. we are glad to be here and why the biden/harris administration is proud to award 400 million dollars to retrofit the golden gate bridge. [applause] i have been we are here as california going through a lot. violence that we were shocked steel over the weekend. and california is recovering from the impact of the storms of the kinds we are sure to see more it in this era of climate change. down payment on the president's commitment to rebuild after the storms we announced we are immediately making available 10.2 million dollars in emergency transportation fundses to repair damaged roads and more

where this came from i'm glad our highway administration will be looking at the damage and be there for you. [applause]. >> and while the seismic threat to the vital bridge is district from climate threats we are facing and forms the response has this in common a need to focus on resilience. weather a road with mud slides a per by sea level or marriage american bridge threatened by quakes we are act to make sure it is resilient all that will come our way. in the story of this project reflects on the resilience on the people who believed in it for years. this bridge stood strong through that devastating loma earthquake. ajs after was clear. if a similar earthquake were to start nearer to where we were standing could cause damage or destroy the golden gate bridge.

it is difficult on over state the impact that would follow if the bridge were in the visible. traffic would increase bypass minutes but hers in each direction. supply chains rocked pushing up process. businesses, jobs, activity and relationships would be unrealistic it sustain and lost. xr soon after that earthquake leaders in the bay area decided the bridge had to be strengthened and leaders wing to deliver on that promise ever since. it took advocacy of so many here and the unparalleled effectiveness of speaker pel lose and he the leadership of president biden to pass the historic infrastructure luthat gave us this funds to see this move forward. there is only one golden gate bridge and we are going to protect it.

>> creating years and years of new good union jobs for iron workers, sheet metal workers laborers, engineers and more representatived here they will install 40 energy device. streventeng the bracing and flower beams the tower and more. i will complement everyone involve nothing applying to this competitive program. learning bridge section got 40 applications. seeking 11 billion dollars in funding. 4 ever them could be fund third degree year including this one. >> i want to end by putting this in context another great example of what period biden's vision are if building a better america looks like in practice part of a strategy it rebuild our economy from the bottom up and middle out and the strategies are work

unemployment is the lowest in decades. wages areum inflation is down compared to a now months ago. seniors on medicare paying $35 a month or less for insulin star thanksgiving year. the child of industrial midwest i move to see manufacturing roaring back with 750,000 new manufacturing jobs created since this administration took office. >> we are building electric vehicles and clone steel and microchips than i will move along strong are american supply chains on more resilient road and bridges like the renowed golden gate we are literally building the 40 together and we are just getting started. i'm glad we can america this together and looking forward to all ahead for the bay area and the counts real and now it is my great honor and pleasure to turn

it over to member who again is responsible in so many ways for hai listed. members of my family have health care because of her leadership. home town has a future because of her leadership. one of the most consequential americans of our young century and the pleasure to turn it over to speaker nancy pelosi. >> thank you very much mr. secretary for your kind words. and your 400 million dollars. [laughter]. what an honor it to be here with my colleagues from the congress. jerad ofmachine exit are districts abut on the bridge. and that is in a safe way. he is a member of transportation committee very much a part of

what went monopoly to building this infrastructure bill this marked on the infrastructure bill from the east bay but a champion for all our issues and brands now member kevin mullin representing per of san francisco and jackie peer who is there to vote for the infrastructure bill i thank our colleagues for acknowledging diane feinstein our senators who were a part of this. it it is quite remarkable to stand here with all of these mayors. our mayor whom we are very proud, and enables us to succeed nationally when we go for a grantor something because of the model that san francisco always is. about getting the job done. having a good proposal.

having be union made having community support. so mr. secretary, we we vote the machiney they 99 san francisco dirt will fly. [laughter] thank you. >> pete is a former mayor and mitch talked about when we came over the bridge. i first came over my father finished being there in baltimore and came to california going to the democratic convention in l.a. and came and saw this magnificent, beautiful bridgeful i thought it would be golden. [laughter]. it was orange. perfect. perfect. and again in all -- of the iron workers. charlie hernandez i sing the praises. can you imagine being an ironworker and going to the top of the tower?

can you imagine being another union member and the bottom of the bay. this courage of it all. the courage of it you will for safety offal of us. and that's what president biden has been b. so again we have the mayors i don't know when rudy's plans or dennis plans are, this it is a high percentage of mayors of here now. and has been mentioned they understand how to get the job doneful we are very proud of the secretary of transportation. for the new vision in he brings to the infrastructure in our country. mr. secretary, when i came here that day with my parents, and since then, this golden gate bridge is the bridge butt golden gate was always there. the golden gate was what was called where the ocean met the bay.

that is where people came to our country to ini having rit it. new comers e approximately from asia. later that is where our truths come home from worry and the first thing than i see is this bridge. called the golden gate because of the area. it represents. so the bridge is the physical infrastructure. it it is a manifestation of america. coming home or coming to america. [applause]. we are proud as we are near the presidio now and the beautiful out look this we have of the bridge. but also part of per of what president biden hen about. dennis come from a union family. as mitch said unions built the middle class. i say it another way the middle class as a union label on it. and dennis thank you for your

leadership being in challenger here. and as far as rudy agenda is concerned yes he was head of the labor council now building trid we celebrated 125th anniversary of the building trades in san francisco in the past year. 125 years. san francisco has been a pioneer in so many ways that's when president biden has been about. in all of these things the bipartisan infrastructure bill and boy the way, mr. secretary, and mr. special advisor to the president it is right the 2 of you are here this is the biggest allocations of recourses in the infrastructure bill so far. [applause] in the country. in the country. in the country. our clothes know that was a fight. part of when the president hen

b. campaigned on so when i talk to him about bills you don't have to tell me i wrote it and campaignod if committed to. committed to jobs. good pay being union jobs. justice, having it done in a way that involved everyone in the communities. safety, this is about safety today if one word. it is jobs of course but it is about safety and the president is very much committed to that. it is only part of the story. as mr. secretary it is other bill this is passed as well starting with the rescue peculiarage that funneled so much money in the state of california. the city of san francisco. our whole area. in order to address the -- covid crisis and shot in arms and money pockets, children in school and people safely back to work. then the infrastructure bill and a bill for our veterans many

union guys are vet republicans we thank the vet republicans for their irrelevant than i play in all of this. the chips act about building the economy of our country in a way that has justice and involving everybody in our community in training and the rest. and jobs in fact. and then -- and then the ira the secretary referenced the ira the infrastructure reduction act. it is done exact low that. it has reduced inflation and credited yens to save the planet with good paying union jobs the same time reducing the cost of prescription drugs, insulin as mentioned and the rest and to do so in a way that it is about safety, justice, about good paying jobs.

ago talk about this golden gatan verse row recreation area. and that was in a when thomas jefferson was president, mayors, when thomas jefferson was president, he created something called the gallatin plan to build the infrastructure of america. over 200 years ago. the -- the all kindses of things -- canals, bridges all the thing this is again matching the louisiana purchase. all the things to build america the erie canal the cumberland road. all of those things. 100 years later, teddy roosevelt in honor of that did his infrastructure plan. the initial park service. and then you in we have

president biden's plan. whether we talk about infrastructure for parks or transportation, infrastructure for safety, infrastructure for justice, infrastructure for in this bill, there is a 40% what is the title. >> justice 40. it would be justice in how infrastructure is built. we are very prud to be part of the justice 40. per of this legislation. so let us thank president biden for his great leadership and thank and welcome again mr. secretary of transportation special advisor to the president and send or friend in the labor movement in every capacity that has been mentioned thank you all so much. again, more to come. [laughter]. [applause].

>> i don't think you need to be an expert to look around and see the increasing frequency of fires throughout california. they are continuing at an ever-increasing rate every summer, and as we all know, the drought continues and huge shortages of water right now.

i don't think you have to be an expert to see the impact. when people create greenhouse gases, we are doing so by different activities like burning fossil fuels and letting off carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and we also do this with food waste. when we waste solid food and leave it in the landfill, it puts methane gas into the atmosphere and that accelerates the rate at which we are warming our planet and makes all the effects of climate change worse. the good news is there are a lot of things that you can be doing, particularly composting and the added benefit is when the compost is actually applied to the soil, it has the ability to reverse climate change by pulling carbon out of the atmosphere and into the soil and the t radios. and there is huge amount of science that is breaking right now around that.

>> in the early 90s, san francisco hired some engineers to analyze the material san francisco was sending to landfill. they did a waste characterization study, and that showed that most of the material san francisco was sending to landfill could be composted. it was things like food scraps, coffee grounds and egg shells and sticks and leaves from gardening. together re-ecology in san francisco started this curbside composting program and we were the first city in the country to collect food scraps separately from other trash and turn them into compost. it turns out it was one of the best things we ever did. it kept 2.5 million tons of material out of the landfill, produced a beautiful nutrient rich compost that has gone on to hundreds of farms, orchards and vineyards. so in that way you can manage your food scraps and produce far less methane. that is part of the solution.

that gives people hope that we're doing something to slow down climate change. >> i have been into organic farming my whole life. when we started planting trees, it was natural to have compost from re-ecology. compost is how i work and the soil 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 plant. it is very much like in business where you say take care of your employees and your employees will take carolinas of your customers. the same thing. take care of the soil microbes and soil life and that will feed and take care of the plants. >> they love compost because it is a nutrient rich soil amendment. it is food for the soil. that is photosynthesis. pulling carbon from the atmosphere. pushing it back into the soil where it belongs. and the roots exude carbon into

the soil. you are helping turn a farm into a carbon sink. it is an international model. delegations from 135 countries have come to study this program. and it actually helped inspire a new law in california, senate bill 1383. which requires cities in california to reduce the amount of compostable materials they send to landfills by 75% by 2025. and san francisco helped inspire this and this is a nation-leading policy. >> because we have such an immature relationship with nature and the natural cycles and the carbon cycles, government does have to step in and protect the commons, which is soil, ocean, foryes, sir, and so forth. -- forest, and so fors. we know that our largest corporations are a significant percentage of carbon emission, and that the corporate community has significant role to play in

reducing carbon emissions. unfortunately, we have no idea and no requirement that they disclose anything about the carbon footprint, the core operation and sp360 stands for the basic notion that large corporations should be transparent about the carbon footprint. it makes all the sense in the world and very common sense but is controversial. any time you are proposing a policy that is going to make real change and that will change behavior because we know that when corporations have to disclose and be transparent and have that kind of accountability, there is going to be opposition. >> we have to provide technical assistance to comply with the state legislation sb1383 which requires them to have a food donation program. we keep the edible food local. and we are not composting it because we don't want to compost edible food. we want that food to get eaten

within san francisco and feed folks in need. it is very unique in san francisco we have such a broad and expansive education program for the city. but also that we have partners in government and nonprofit that are dedicated to this work. at san francisco unified school district, we have a sustainability office and educators throughout the science department that are building it into the curriculum. making it easy for teachers to teach about this. we work together to build a pipeline for students so that when they are really young in pre-k, they are just learning about the awe and wonder and beauty of nature and they are connecting to animals and things they would naturally find love and affinity towards. as they get older, concepts that keep them engaged like society and people and economics. >> california is experiencing many years of drought.

dry periods. that is really hard on farms and is really challenging. compost helps farms get through these difficult times. how is that? compost is a natural sponge that attracts and retains water. and so when we put compost around the roots of plants, it holds any moisture there from rainfall or irrigation. it helps farms make that corner and that helps them grow for food. you can grow 30% more food in times of drought in you farm naturally with compost. farms and cities in california are very hip now to this fact that creating compost, providing compost to farms helps communities survive and get through those dry periods. >> here is the thing. soil health, climate health, human health, one conversation. if we grow our food differently, we can capture all that excess carbon in the atmosphere and

store it in unlimited quantities in the soil, that will create nutrient dense foods that will take 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 plains in the 1870s and by the 1930s, 60 year, we turned it into a dust bowl. that is what ignorance looks like when you don't pay attention to nature. nature bats last. so people have to wake up. wake up. compost. >> it is really easy to get frustrated because we have this belief that you have to be completely sustainable 24/7 in all aspects of your life. it is not about being perfect. it is about making a change here, a change there in your life. maybe saying, you know what? i don't have to drive to that particular place today. today i am going to take the bus or i'm going to walk. it is about having us is

stainable in mind. that is -- it is about having sustainability in mind. that is how we move the dial. you don't have to be perfect all the time. >> san francisco has been and will continue to be one of the greener cities because there are communities who care about protecting a special ecosystem and habitat. thinking about the history of the ohlone and the native and indigenous people who are stewards of this land from that history to now with the ambitious climate action plan we just passed and the goals we have, i think we have a dedicated group of people who see the importance of this place. and who put effort into building an infrastructure that actually makes it possible. >> we have a long history starting with the gold rush and the anti-war activism and that is also part of the environmental movement in the 60s and 70s. and of course, earth day in 1970 which is huge. and i feel very privileged to work for the city because we are

on such a forefront of environmental issues, and we get calls from all over the world really to get information. how do cities create waste programs like they do in san francisco. we are looking into the few which you are and we want innovation. we want solutions.

you. >> what do you think about

working at an airport and i love it is busy all the time. >> we want it to be an those away was this is a venture if i didn't love it i'll be an accountant. >> we want the experience that is a non-airport experience the negative stigma we're trying to erase that. >> everything is in a bad food to excite them about the food and they have time to learn about us. >> people are imitated by traveling and the last thing to do is come to a place fill of chaos. >> telling me how the extent of napa a farms came about. >> it was a vision of the
