melanie? [applause] >> thanks for the nice introduction and for being here. i want to start off by saying this is a project i've been thinking about a long time. the idea came to me 20 years ago when i was in puerto rico and a hurricane came to the tropical island where i was in the caribbean, and so i would never wish that on anyone as was a major hurricane, a pretty terrifying thing, but what amazed me is i came there to study tropical forests and i was on internship there, and i was surprised to see in the four months before i left the island, the leaves looked like the apocalypse after the hurricane. the leaves had grown back on the trees still standing, and even broken trees, they were sprouting afreash. . . so i thought i wonder if hurricanes might fit in. and that inspired me to come to the university of arizona and study, wanted to look into deep time and at the university of arizona there is a lot of good climate research courses and some of them that i was looking at re in pale leoclimate and eliogeology so climate and vegetation unwanted to see wha

my name is melanie nathan. i am a personal advocate and conflict resolution specialist.i serve as vice president on the board of fair housing in marine and was recently reappointed to the marin human rights council. i practiced law in south africa before moving to the u.s. in march of this year i was faced with a choice. i could stay in the united states with might call-year-old daughter in a shared custody arrangement or i would have to leave her behind to go into exile with my same-sex spouse and our four-year old. our nightmare involves navigating the complex immigration system to keep our family together. had we not been of the same sex, we would have not had any problems. after receiving help from senator feinstein, i led the drive to introduced private bill 867. when my advocacy became public, scores of bi-national couples began contacting me for help. not a day goes1/ request. i testified before the california state assembly, judiciary committee, and provided written testimony to senator leahy for the uniting of american families act. the irc, in making their reco

i went inside the delivery room, and i said you were, "are you doing ok, melany?" and she said, "yes." and i said, "is the baby doing ok?" and she said, "yes," and then she said, "do you want to hold it?" the first thought that went through my mind is what do i do to help make this a better nation and a better world. that is when my journey started in order to be here for this location, and so my third guiding principle is, it is not about us. it is about the grandchildren. it is not about us. ask any grandparent. [applause] and even though the liberals starting in the white doves are trying to change this nation, -- starting in the white house are trying to change this nation, the liberals in washington, d.c., as the liberals all over this great nation, the united states of america is not going to become the united states of europe, not on our watch. thank you.

[inaudible] >> my name is melanie [unintelligible] and i am the director of the san francisco department of the environment. we have been asked to present on the role of recycling centers at today's hearing. thank you for the opportunity to share the facts with you on the current state of san francisco's recycling centers. as well as the future of recycling in san francisco. highlighting some of our milestones over the past 40 years, first i wanted to highlight that back in 1970, the first earth day, is when the first community recycling centers were founded. in 1987 a landmark piece of legislation was passed at the state level, the beverage container recycling and litter reduction act, which created programs for beverage containers. crv stands for california redemption value. the money that individuals get back when they recycle their bottles and cans. the third miles down from 99 b was the blue book at curbside recycling program in san francisco. and then the fantastic free program that you see today with a cycling, compost, and landfill in 1999. a couple of other milestones. in 2000 t

but this is the kind of thing that melanie was talking about as a problematic material in our system, and these are the kinds of things we are taking steps to reduce or eliminate if possible. thanks. >> hello. my slide is really boring, so i'm mostly going to talk to you a little bit. in the climate coordinator with the department of environment. san francisco has already committed to goals and policies to address climate change by reducing our carbon footprint. these goals are in line with the state bowls. in many cases, they go farther. additionally, last year, the city and county of san francisco was directed by our local air district to specifically include emissions from waste in our greenhouse gas inventory and climate plan and let her hear from the air district, which i will submit to you all today. then, -- this piece of legislation before you supports these municipal, state, and regional goals that we have a climate-wise. the second question i usually get is -- how much carbon is this going to say? the big savings here in carbon reductions actually comes not from the phone bo

melanie said it best when she talked about reduce, reuse, recycle. waste is waste. there is no other excuse for it. i think this program would help the city achieve its zero with goals sooner rather than later, and if one has been made about the costs involved that are either born by the city or the rate payers in terms of recycling that are important. the other thing that has not been touched on very much is -- very much as the impact on the paper industry. i did a little bit of research, and apparently, we use more water per ton of product than any other industry in the world. i have seen some pretty horrific pictures. also, i thing we need to think about the destruction of trees, the deforestation that is going around. maybe these trees are not all going for yellow pages, but there is destruction of forests in south america, in the southeast area, canada, and alaska. i think it is really important that we look at the total environment picture. the other thing that has not been mentioned is how many cars and trucks it takes to distribute these around the city. i t
