third, the stuff in the green bins for composting is fully compostable. we want third party certification apply to everything including fiber products going to composting. this will help us phase out a problematic toxic compound chemicals used to create water and degrees barrier on food. that would ensure they will not be included in the compostable food wear. fourth, we want to have events to start using reusable cups for 10% of the attendees thanks is a small step to encourage cup reuse. fifth, the option to at some post consumer recycled content to close the loop, drive markets on some food wear. that would be done in the future. 2020. just to elaborate, basically, we are talking about plastic straws and stir sticks, toothpicks. we want them to be plastic free, and that includes compostable plastic. it is still a plastic. there are a lot of alternatives. we encourage reuse as we talk about reduce, reuse, recycle. here we have samples of increasingly popular metal straws people can carry with them. they are a good gift. i heard ashley giving them as a g

i don't think that is as well known in terms of why it's so important specifically to compost. and then, whatcom posting does to take methane out of the atmosphere, right? the double -- the double sort of bad part of it, and then, the positive effect you can have with composting. i do think we need to have a better education campaign about that aspect of our zero waste goals because we are a city that very much compares about climate change, probably have more electric vehicles than -- than other cities, but yet we're still sending 30% of what should be composted to the landfill. we need to do more education on that part. but i really -- you know, the last thing i would say is, you know, in terms of the big business, more commercial side of the waste, i think the local 287 did do the walk in my shoes night, and part of my job i did that night was separating the waste which was an amazing experience and very hard and very eye opening. but what i -- what i like about that program is that the workers are making sure that all of the waste is properly disposed. but we are sending a

and as you can see, the compost and recycling participation is matching the population growth getting moreso residents into the city, as more people are moving here, the participation rate is continuing to grow. and that disposal number, director rafael's correct. it is flat lining. it isn' w we'like to see it. we'd like to see it going down. i'm going to talk in a minute about what we're doing in order to improve that result and as you mentioned, kind of t first or the largest role that we've had in over 15 years since we rolled out the three streams and the expansion of the commodities, and we're actually alread seeing some assi part of that. so the new program, as you're familiar, is a new single-family home program where previously, the standard was 32 gal-ns trash, 32 s re cling, 32 gallons composting. we are now moving to that as standard. this moves all single-family residential homes to 85% diversion. we still understand there is the need f a trash bin as there are some difficult to handle materials such as diapers, animal waste, styrofoam, and those types of items. we've actu

her latest invention is a compost machine organic waste is not only an issue for farms restaurants in the city also have a lot of leftover food and need a sustainable solution for its disposal. i like working on specific projects they provide practical solutions for real life problems it's great when you can see the solution implemented straight away i think when you get to make people happy. she set up the prototype of her new machine in the backyard of a large restaurant a group of high school students has come along to learn about the process of composting fatema by rice seizes the opportunity to explain how her system works and to talk about her ideas for sustainable waste disposal. i'm going against this can be used to put the issue of waste management on a whole new footing in iraq and elsewhere. by processing the waste directly on site you can solve a whole range of problems. problem. for one thing there's no need to transport the garbage to the dump and the waste doesn't smell anymore either. and it takes around four to five weeks for it to turn into good quality come past tha

over a decade ago we started this conversation about mandatory recycling and composting. if many of you in the public mb went from one black bin, to then two and then three, where the green and the blue bin was created, and became part of our daily routine for some people. some people ignored it for a long time, and some people still do. but in general, san francisco began to change its culture, and began to be on the cutng edge of what it meant to be environmentally responsible. ba 2002, a the wayack in 2002, 16 years ago, the board of supervisors passed a resolution sng th we would send no more than -- we would be diverting 75% of our waste from landfill. and then one year later, we came out with the goal of having 0 waste by 2020. here we are, unbelievably,s 2018, and it came out and come to our attention that we are not theposur of this riste. today is to talk about how and why we are where we are. how much we no longer use the word diversion, now we talk about tonnage, interesting, watching a program 20 years ago talking about waste management and they were talking a

over a decade ago, we came up mandatory recycling and composting. we went from one stream of waste to three streams of waste. many of you know our janitors in this building now are dealing with not just the black bin but also the green and the blue bin and that's how we think about it in san francisco. many of us do our own sorting and sorting in our homes, but in our buildings and our largest producers, it came out, it was very, very clear that some of the biggest producers of trash are office buildings and large apartment buildings the legislation that i'm introducing today is an update of what i worked on a decade ago with our janitors union. it said if a large producer of waste, large building, large apartment building, large entity is producing waste that's not meeting our citywide diversion rate, they would be required to have on-site sorting and we would be doing -- the best place to do waste diversion and sorting is on-site and where it's produced, like we do in our homes individually and janitors do in their buildings. here we are aecade la

and environment is concerned that while it is good that it is compostable, it is tox fick the material gets into the ocean or to the ecosysteecosystem. it takes a special kind of facility to really breakdown that material. i want to make sure we're be as considerate and smart about any kind of major implementatio like this. and this would definitely be a big change. >> i want to make one note. we tried this at a festival we did and had about 6,000 people and incentivized people monetarily to purchase the clean canteen style glass and nobody bought it. we ended up with, i don't know -- i think we brought 3,000 and of the 3,000, we brought back 2,800 and even with the financial incentive, nobody did it. that is another consideration. and conceivably printed the name and the year of the event on it because it is like a souvenir cup, and you can't sell them the next year. that is another added cost we had to do and just eat 2,800 cups because we thought we could convince people to do it. >> how is this going to be enforced? a cup police? walking around? >> so i am not clear on if there wil

one of my jobs was to teach about recycle, teaching students to reduce, reuse, recycle and compost, i'mching them they have the power, and that motivates them. it was satisfying for me to work with for the department of environment to create a message that gets to the heart of the issue. the san francisco department of environment is the only agency that has a full time educational team, we go into the schools to help teach children how to protect nature and the environment. we realized we needed animal mascot to spark excitement with the students. the city during the gold rush days, the phoenix became part of the city feel and i love the symbolism of the phoenix, about transformation and the message that the theme of the phoenix provides, we all have the power to transform our world for the better. we have to provide teachers with curriculum online, our curriculum is in two different languages and whether it's lesson plans or student fact sheets, teachers can use them and we've had great feedback. we have helped public and private schools in san francisco increase their waste use and s
