>> thank you, president bermejo. first of all, i want to thank all three of you for coming this evening and giving you a slightly over whel with himming -- more than slightly -- overwhelming, if i'm truthful, but a big thank you for your effort. i have one specific question for sarah, and that has to do with your carpool campaign. clearly, you had a lot of success on social media, and i was wondering if you were able to measure any impact of all the advertising and all the efforts on actual number of people who were carpooling to the schools you were focusing on? >> i will give a caveat that i am more on the outreach team and less so on the safe routes team per se, so i can say -- from what i know, that data has not been collected yet or is still in the process of being collected. perhaps margaret has a better answer on that, but if not, i'm happy to get back to you. >> can say a longer version of what sarah said, which is the -- obviously, the ultimate goal is not just to do a fantastic advertising campaign, which w

>> thank you, president bermejo. so we are all painfully aware of the growing plastic pollution crisis. we saw it on the cover of national geographic. there are countless articles about this issue, and we've really been struggling as a department to think about well, how can we be part of the solution? the problem is so huge, what can we do? and in the past, we've tackled this? a number of ways, by banning plastic bags and styrofoam. those are products that are going to end up in the environment. we can't recycle them in our current systems. those policies don't stay in san francisco. they've gone beyond. we've been very aware of plastics being a carrier of toxic chemicals into our bodies as well as into the marine environment. so today we're going to be talking about a forward thinking policy that we understand is not the whole picture, but we think it's a very important first step in addressing the global plastic pollution. and with the wonderful partnership and leadership of supervisor katy tang, the supervisor si

>> thank you, president bermejo. so again, we're going to be discussing the city's goal from sing of transportation, single occupancy vehicles, that's one person percar to more sustainable modes, like public transit, walking, biking. that is what we heard in the president's opening remarks. the wonky word for that, getting people out of cars into these other modes is called mode shift, so you will probably hear that word a lot tonight? mode shift, so that's the transportation planner's way of saying getting people out of their cars. and while sustainable transportation has been woven into many of the commission meetings that we've had, it's actually been two years since we had a meeting on this, and so i'm just looking at that, and i don't know if the next slide is -- no, it's not. okay. so what's interesting about this slide is it's out of date. so this slide is our old climate action strategy which is 5-50-100 routes. -- 0-50-100 routes. as she said, this slide is out of date because we've surpassed 50. the m.t.a.,

thank you, president bermejo. this evening, i must say i'm honored to present the commission on the environment environmental service award to gwy gwynn mckellen. it was created two years to aword to individuals who help the commission on the environment achieve its sustainable environment awards. over the past ten years, gwynn has led numerous community campaigns for the department all as a volunteer. she has logged more than 500 hours as an intern and over 1,000 hours as a volunteer. the department of the environment sends teams to street fairs and community events to educate the public about our latest campaigns and time and again, gwynn has been there at so many events to be the bright human face of the department. at times, she's even worn a costume. in addition to representing the department at public events, gwynn led a zero-waste audit at city hall, assisted with mandatory composting and advocated for the plastic bag ban. her volunteerism doesn't end with this department. she was the lead organizer at the

. >> thank you, president bermejo. i think this is a great ordinance. i think this is all great work, as debbie said. it's the product of a great team, and i think even more than that, it illustrates so many things that are terrific about this department, creativity when faced with a problem, the willingness to really push the envelope. the solid partnerships you all have with so many people and organizations in the community, the outreach work you do, and the leadership role that you take. i have a couple of comments on the ordinance, which -- >> the resolution? >> the resolution, yes, thank you, which anthony has told me i should go through and then hand him my piece of paper. one thing that's not on my piece of paper which i would like to have raised for your consideration is adding a new paragraph, which i hate to write these things here, and maybe we don't have to, but i'm wondering whether we should have a paragraph that addresses the controversy that both of you referred to, and that was illustrated by this morning ease chronicle, a -- this morni
