disturbing environmental justice. and this program was there because at the time it was about 360 megawatts of in-city generation efficiency when all these grand things -- and a lot of us tried to get there. and now here we are in the fall. it wasn't the recs. what it was, director randolph, just so you know, this is what it was and what i think it still is. this is green new deal and very -- i'm not seeing any more. need to hear from folks how we get back there. what is the plan? the plan is and the draft outline next week for a number of local generation -- you know, it's not that. i mean, i have to guess there's -- it's not going to happen at the sfpuc on rate setting if you're coming in next week and saying we have to plan to investigate buying the hydro power from shell, you know. be investigating how we buy it as a city, you know, how we do this as the city and county of san francisco to have a green purchasing program to do this and get us to the green deal. you know, a draft of an outline of a plan and the job

[calling speaker names] food justice leaders. [calling speaker names] and if people could just come forward and line up on the left side of the room. mr. tennisson please come forward. >> good afternoon. i am steven tennis and i want to thank you for allowing me to speak supervisors. i am going to deviate from what i was going to say. i think there is an aspect that need to be talked about that hasn't and that is wheelchair accessibility in corner stores. by their nature they're very small and when i think of wheelchair accessibility i think of a person in a wheelchair that can get in the front doors and maybe up to the sales desk. okay, the counter, excuse me, but when the person has to look down the aisle or beyond that they can't so they need help and i mean unfortunately the stores are small and i don't have any idea or m that othe lageof your bi in the stall to consideration i tt has be but i think it's

he is a leader from the community, environmental justice, has an amazing body of work he has done ands going to contribute a lot to the environmental policy of the sdi f. it's appropriate we would like to start off the public comment by introducing roger kim. (applause) >> an honor and pleasure to be on the mayor's staff and working with him to extend sf's leadership on the environment and to work with all of you doing that as well. as joshua mentioned, i come from the community, spent eight years working at the asia pacific environmental based in oakland organizing low-income people of color, asian immigrants and refugees to be champions on the environment. and working on environmental policy from climate change to energy too big fossil fuel facilities like the refinery in richmond, and looking forward to bringing that experience and work to san francisco and really broadening our scope of who is involved in making environmental policy in the city and also really helping to advance the city's leadership in this area. so, thank you to the president and looking forward to meeting all o

residents of california toxic hot spots rally for environmental justice and a plan to make neighborhoodsalthier. >> we'll have those stories and more coming up at 6:00. >> right now who knew new bay bridge could have impact on fashion? huh? >> take a look. the store in oakland selling this tee shirt featuring the section that will become history by tuesday morning. going get torn down. making this tee shirt officially vintage. >> the store works as an oakland artist to come up with the design. >> and those that want to get in on the fashion trend the store has shirts featuring new eastern span. and i have seen oaklandish kiosk at the oakland airport, too. >> trog see how fast they're selling. >> yes. >> that is going to do it for us. world news is coming up next. >> from all of us here >>> this is "world news." tonight the dream lives on. >> i have a dream. >> 50 years after a day that challenged the nation toward freedom and justice, the powerful and the faithful return. >>> danger zone, breaking news, the president increases the pressure on syria. thousands of syrians flee the country

and it is an environmental justice community and there are a lot of children in there. and despite our repeated requests there has been no requirement that actual notice be given to those people so their voices could be heard and on the notice issue. there really has not even been proper notice for this hearing. and the last hearing, as soon as the hearing was over the signs were cut down and no signing put back on up on the property telling anybody in the neighborhood about this hearing, i don't know how many people would have liked to attended this hearing and be heard and had no idea that the hearing was occurring >> the second thing that we want to mention is that by law, all schools within a quarter mile of the project have to be given notice of the project. downtown high school as well within a quarter of a mile on this project was given given me written notice and there is no complaints and we think that it makes this project effective. and we are going to have two more minutes? >> you have 30 seconds. >> the next thing that we want to talk about is the verde clu

omission, they have been denied the rights to participate in the process, for 480 potrero avenue, environmental justice could not be more relevant than the withholding of the information from the protected class related to the immediate environment and potential risk to their health. >> by adopting the negative it will have the net effect of further disenfranchising the most vulnerable members of our community, the potential for the effects caused by the direct separation of the no income individuals by being given the same rights and information as everyone else in the neighborhood would be a significant effect. and this warrantty, eir, in the review is mandatory, so that they could be included in that process, to protect the community of the environmental report should be required. thank you. >> next speaker, please? >> hello. >> i work on potrero. and i want to speak about proper notice, the proper notice was not given to the impacted community. and specifically the residents of the maripsa gardens, the first meeting saying that the gardens was confusing and made it clear to us and those attending t

i think, though, for the whole gamut of what we do, renewable energy community outreach, environmental justice, all the different kind of components, sum it all together. are we better off today or not? and that's a question for our director. >> i think from the description that we heard tonight, the program has obviously changed and it seems that it's still in flux. my understanding is that the vote next week is really about the not to exceed rates. so, not necessarily the mix of recs and green power that we're directly procuring on the open market. so, i mean, i would just say in response to that, with the information that we have, we know that we want to meet all of the goals that have been stated here. so, whether it's reducing greenhouse gas emission reductions, serving our communities, creating jobs, creating in-city resources, stimulating the market for renewables, that's what we want out of the program. and i wish i could say with authority that the program that we had sketched out tonight is better or worse than what was proposed last year, i don't think i have enough information to s

been able to take part of the opportunity in the pec to really engage our young people in the environmental justice work and to expose the career pathways that could lead to green jobs and other ways to them to benefit the community and so we want to thank you for this opportunity and we will turn it over to tracy who is the project lead on this and we also have a land out for the commissioners. >> good afternoon, my name is tracy zoo, again and i wanted to, thank you all for supporting this exciting opportunity for lgbt youth to be engaged in this project based learning opportunity. and first i want to tell you a little bit about myself and give you a project overview and also on the hand out. and bay view as a young person and as a young adult i worked in bay view as a youth worker and today i continue to do justice advocacy around the way area. i have had a first hand experience and as a former participant and i am currently on the board and i know how valuable of a resource it is for the use and especially the use of color and low income use and particularly the mission and the bay view neighbo

. >> hi, i'm [speaker not understood] and i'm with the department of the environment's environmental justice program and i'm here today to tell you some simple actions you can take to make your home healthier. we all deserve to have healthy homes. we all deserve to have healthy families. however, as we know in san francisco, some people are not as healthy as others. for example, bayview hunters point has significantly higher rates of asthma and other illnesses than other parts of the city. there are many reasons for these higher rates of illness. some are within our control, but many are not. for example, two freeways cross the neighborhood which creates air pollution and we know air pollution is bad for our health. for many years two nearby power plants caused much pollution in the southeastern part of the city, but both were shut down thanks to a lot of effort from the community. however, industry and the neighborhood still creates air pollution. sometimes the air indoors is more polluted than outdoors. since we spend the majority of our time indoors, today we're going to talk about indoor
