San Francisco bans sale of plastic water bottles on city property

San Francisco has made another step towards greening the city this week, with a recent ordinance to ban the sale of plastic water bottles on city-owned property.

The city’s Board of Supervisors approved the measure unanimously on Tuesday; it will head to the mayor’s desk after one more board approval. The ordinance exempts sporting events and gives food trucks and large nonprofits until 2018 to comply with the new ordinance.

“We all know with climate change, and the importance of combatting climate change, San Francisco has been leading the way to fight for our environment,” ordinance author and Supervisor David Chiu said, according to SFGate. “That’s why I ask you to support this ordinance to reduce and discourage single-use, single-serving plastic water bottles in San Francisco.”

Americans use 50 billion plastic water bottles a year, according to an anti-plastic bottle campaign Ban the Bottle, and just 23% of those are recycled.

When was the last Progressive Democrat in the White House ...???

Was it Jimmy Carter ?

and if he was the last, my real question is who is our Progressive Democratic Presidential candidate?

and instead of drilling for dinosaur juice in offshore waters ...

we could be installing ocean current generators ....

"The magic of ocean currents is that they surround every continent on Earth and they run all day, every day. That's what sets this energy source apart from wind, solar, tidal, or wave—all of which are cyclical, meaning that during certain periods they don't produce power.

The ocean-current generator we're planning to build would float 100 to 200 feet below the sea surface. The device is a 65-foot-diameter cylinder shaped to speed up water flow, with propeller blades attached to its frame. As water flows through, it strikes the blades and spins a rotor, which generates electricity. A 17-foot center opening would allow animals to pass through unharmed. We estimate that in the Gulf Stream, a few miles offshore from West Palm Beach, Florida, the five-knot current would turn the blades about eight times per minute, generating about a megawatt of power.

We are designing the turbine to steer itself into the best current so that it generates maximum power, which is principally why our small submersibles manufacturing group, Triton Submarines, is involved. To make the turbine float, we'd create it partly out of syntactic foam, a buoyant material that we can shape easily but won't collapse under high ocean pressures. The device would be tethered to the seafloor with a cable and adjustable straps that lengthen or shorten to move it in response to onboard water current, depth, and power output sensors.

The cable would then transmit power to a seafloor junction box, which would boost the voltage, convert it from AC to DC, and send it to a collection and distribution center onshore. In the future, we imagine an array of anywhere from 15 to 50 generators working together."

The answer is message and follow through of that message ...

and unless the follow through happens soon, then lackluster turnout is going to continue ...

I will not vote for another Democrat just because they have the letter D in front of their name ...

and the reason why we are in the mess we are in is the inane voting rational that " I am going to vote D no matter what they stand for ...

Can someone please explain why ...

The black and white of our society is born from the lack of representation in any form in our lives

the (99%) needs and wants are ignored and are now cannon fodder for the jokers Koch and there kind....

you mention a nuanced education like it is something that is attainable for the 99ers, while du has thousands of visitors to an article on a porn star from duke ...

this society along with much of the rest of the developed world is money sick which shows in almost every aspect of every single fucking thing we do ...

which is amounting to coming close to committing our children to a world that will soon enough be uninhabitable .... all for what??????????????
