. >> the san francisco carbon fund was started in 2009. it's basically legislation that was passed by the board of supervisors and the mayor's office for the city of san francisco. they passed legislation that said okay, 13% of the cost of the city air travel is going to go into a fund and we're going to use the money in that fund to do local projects that are going to mitigate and sequester greenhouse gas emission. the grants that we're giving, they're anywhere from 15,000 to, say, $80,000 for a two year grant. i'm shawn rosenmoss. i'm the development of community partnerships and carbon fund for the san francisco department of environment. we have an advisory committee that meets once or twice a year to talk about, okay, what are we going to fund? because we want to look at things like equity and innovative projects. >> i heard about the carbon fund because i used to work for the department of environment. i'm a school education team. my name is marcus major. i'm a founding member of climate action now. we started in 2011. our main goal i

to reiterate what others have said, it doesn't do any good for the climate crisis if san francisco minimizes its carbon emissions by decreasing the general pg and the level of renewables, so we need to be very careful that when we are increasing our in city amounts of renewables, everybody else has said, that these solar projects are going throughout the state and the country. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i just wanted to say that this feedback that we are giving the gentleman is pretty much universal. people have a lot of trouble signing up with this 100% green, and that may create a feeling that the efts at -- p.u.c., for perhaps a very meritorious technical reasons, such as the ones mr. brooks mentioned and others, is not as enthusiastic about going for force as we might wish, but our focus should be on what can be done to smooth the way, to get that power 100% green all over the city, asap, because we now know that the emergency is a whole hell of a lot worse than we thought it was , and the program is being developed. >> thank you. >> one more thing, we can expect a lot more today. if

and many of them come into san francisco and also california can take more people from the rest of the country because we have moderate climate and that will help us reduce carbon from a.c. and heating and all of that i think the most important climate bill in california today is more homes in sacramento from senator scott weiner. i hope that san francisco will endorse this bill. i know it is an issue that is going out right now. we can also accelerate our own info housing and protect the bike lanes and transit. a bonus is both of these solutions, both the carbon dividend and more homes and general housing will reduce poverty. california has the highest poverty rate in the whole country. that is abysmal given our economic success and it's really because of housing costs and san francisco has the highest rate. the dividend will help people pay their bills, it will be a lot of money for low income families, and reducing the shortage will make housing more affordable. these solutions are a win-win, and i'm excited we have the opportunity to really infuse them into the debate in san francisco. thank you. >> thank you. any other public comment? >> good evening, comm

san francisco, also in the low to mid-50s. and you're pretty much a carbon copy up to the north bay, 56 in napa with the chilliest temperature in point reyes at 51. what about the sunshine? i think we have one solid day right now at least coming up our way, as we hit friday's forecast, that looks like some of the best weather we've probably seen in weeks. once we hit saturday, still a little bit of wet weather. i think we'll hold onto the chance of some spotty rain into about 8:00 in the morning on sunday, then after that, we dry out. also more sunshine on monday. and we've got another little rain chance here as we head through next tuesday's forecast. for the inland valleys, we someday wistay with the cold 30s. overall, this is probably the calmest seven-day forecast we've seen in maybe four to five weeks at this point. so friday, that's the day, everyone. i don't know if i'd wash my car just yet. >> we haven't wd cars in a long time. >> you can just do it for fun, you know. >> thank you, jeff. >>> up next, mark zuckerberg wants to reinvent facebook. can th

the mayor has committed san francisco to climate goals that make us carbon neutral by 2050. and we have vision zero that relies heavily on mode shift and calls out climate action goals as well. we're a policy board. we approve these policies. but then we inadvertently occasionally slow things down or the public slows things down by not sort of accepting we have all discussed these things and talked about them and reiterated our support for these goals time and time again. so i just want to say that the last thing i ever want to do as a board member, and i say this all of the time, is not support staff. so i feel we have approved this over-arching goal, and we send staff out there to do the best job they can. and i appreciate the fact that the outreach for these bike share pods are improving. i think there are some great ideas about mapping it out on either the sidewalk or the pavement to show exactly where it is going to be because i think that helps. a little stencil that says, coming soon, more information, something so people can't miss you knocking on their door, can't t

san francisco. as such, every endeavor that we undertake are directly related to reducing our carbon foot print and prepare for a future that unfortunately looks very different than today. we look forward to collaborating with the mayor's office, the department of environment and other city agencies, not only in preparation of the 100-year report, but to work together to ensure a resilient climate future for all san franciscans. thank you. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, mr. scarpulla. i believe we have a representative from the sfmta. >> good afternoon, supervisors. sarah jones from the sfmta. i will reiterate all the thanks to supervisor mandelman and his staff as well as all the sponsoring supervisors and s.f. environment and all the other city departments. we are all aligned with you and fully support this resolution. i think from the very large blue chunk of the pie chart that director raphael pointed out, that's why we're here. many elements of the city's multimodal transportation are vulnerable to sea level rise. we can't allow that to continue. we have to decrease emissions, and we won'

san francisco police are investigating. >>> california democrats and environmental advocates join forces today and urge spending $100 to reduce the state's carbonlied at the state capital and want california to become the only state to declare a climate emergency and develop a green new deal. a similar effort is being pushed nationally. >> they'll tell you that we can't afford to take these steps to carbon neutral california or to 100% cleaning -- and transportation fleet in -- we can't afford not to make those -- [ inaudible ]. >> in california they prefer draconian mandates as opposed to letting the market place deal with this. >> california intends to eliminate fossil fuels for generating electricity by 2045. the new push calls for moving that goal up to 2030. >>> it is the world's worst tourist trap and it ♪ ♪ with the chase mobile app, jason wu could pay practically anyone, at any bank, all while putting on a runway show for new york fashion week. ♪ ♪ he could. or, he could make it even easier - and set up recurring payments to his neighbor. for cat sitting.

construction, more carbon, more crime, permanent loss of neighborhood character, a miserable place to live. these shortsighted politicians fail to realize, this will lose the san francisco neighborhood charm and when the economy cools back down, our neighborhoods will be dotted with partially filled tenements. everybody thinks these booming companies will last forever. they don't. airbnb, consist of kids programming away for 12 hours a day. >> thank you, sir, your time is up. >> president melgar: next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, my name is christopher. i am here today to talk about sb50 from a climate change perspective. last fall, the california air resources board issued a report stating that the state does not have the hope of reaching its climate change goals unless it does something serious to reduce the vehicle miles traveled, electrifying vehicles will not do the trick. so in order do that, it's imperative on a statewide basis to be increasing the amount of housing that is provided close to transit and close to major employment centers. unfortunately, local governments across the state have made it crystal clear they have no intention of doing that on the

carbon offsets. meanwhile, they have to move their road show from san francisco to new york because protesters representingivers, were protesting in front of the road show. this company has real problems. think of the last time there was an ipo where people representing 98% of the work force were protesting the road show. neil: they are getting a piece of this, though, aren't they? >> let's talk about that piece. if you have driven 10,000 rides, you get $1,000 or a dime a ride. if you have driven 20,000, you get $10,000, that's 50 cents a ride. i would argue these companies have figured out the ultimate ninja move to kick the middle class in the groin by saying with 4100 employees, and our investors, we are going to split $25 billion and the 1.4 million drivers get between $8 and $15 an hour and flexibility. and that's something but we used to have an economy when you have those sorts of spoils, they were spread across everyone. in my opinion, this is another example of kind of a structure where we have figured out a way, the ultimate have and have-nots. neil: the haves are the two joint owners. they are h
