Local environmental services

There are some environmental services in San Francisco, such as the San Francisco Department of Public Health San Francisco Department of the Environment Staff, San Francisco Environmental Sustainability, SF Environment, Recycling (Zero Waste), etc. All together those organizations provide evaluation, regulation, control and protection of the city environment. I was personally surprised that there is a specific agency for regulating recycling in the city. The Zero Waste website provides all the information about recycling, reusing, composting and disposal. It was such a pleasure to find out that local services and residents do care about keeping their environment safe!

On the SF Department of the Environment website, I found information about recycling, climate change, buildings and environments,  toxics and health, transportation, energy, education and equities. I found the Green Buildings program described on the website quite amazing! Such a brilliant idea about reshaping SF urban environment to improve the performance of new and existing buildings. Another terrific example is the San Francisco Electric Vehicle Readiness Plan. I have always been amazed by the rapidness of technological progress. When I was born, the idea of electric cars was a fiction.
