CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO COMMISSION ON THE ENVIRONMENT DIRECTOR’S REPORT

September 27, 2016 -------------------------------

This report covers San Francisco Department of the Environment updates for the period of July 1 – August 31, 2016

Residential Programs

- SCHOOL EDUCATION: Gave 11 assemblies/presentations to 985 students at six schools and youth programs across the city.

- TOXICS REDUCTION: Approved, with conditions, the Safe Drug Disposal Product Stewardship Plan submitted by MED-Project. Plan approval is a major milestone in implementation of the 2015 Ordinance, which requires installation and operation of a minimum of 55 free medicine collection locations for San Francisco residents to safely dispose of their unwanted and expired medicines. The approved Plan commits to installation of all 55 collection locations by the end of 2017.

- ENERGY: The San Francisco BayREN Multifamily program is on track to meet our units-served goal (1,250 units) for 2017. Moreover, projects in other neighboring counties BayREN programs been canceled, resulting in an 800-unit deficit for the regional BayREN (administered by the Association of Bay Area Governments). San Francisco BayREN will help the region make-up that deficit by bringing in an additional 400 units by December 2016.

- ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE: Working with the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development to provide Healthy Homes trainings and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) services at two HOPE SF sites, Hunters View (HV) and Alice Griffith. Provided IPM workshop with Pestec at Hunters View in July.

- OUTREACH – ZERO WASTE: The RealFoodiesCompost.com campaign launched in Mid-July and

runs through Mid-October. The campaign targets those who are new the city and least aware of the green bin program, with a goal of raising awareness and ultimately keeping organics out of the landfill. Campaign tactics include: Online Banners, Online Video, Online Influencer Marketing, Postcard Mailing, and Bus Shelters Ads. Success will be evaluated based on the campaign's ability to raise awareness among those within the target audience who were exposed to the message. Results of the campaign's success will come in November. So far, anecdotes and initial data analysis point toward success.

- OUTREACH – ENERGY: Hosted two BayREN Home Upgrade workshops, both at capacity, with a combined total of over 60 attendees (West Portal Clubhouse – July 30th & Ingleside Library – August 27th). To promote this program and these events, the Department worked with the SFE/SFPL Greenstacks collaboration, engaged the community using NextDoor and collaborated with individual neighborhood associations, as well as umbrella organizations - each comprising over twenty neighborhood groups. To promote the next workshop at the Ortega Branch Library on September 28th, 500 mailers were sent to homeowners within a half a mile radius of the workshop in addition to engaging the community through NextDoor and

Page 2

associations. These 500 homeowners were identified based on psychographic, demographic and building characteristics using our department’s new audience targeting platform.

- ZERO WASTE: Conducted waste assessments at 7 apartment buildings and gave 2

presentations to seniors on zero waste. (898 units) Worked with Outreach to launch outreach campaign and website realfoodiescompost.com including mailing three serial postcards urging increased composting to 20,000 new residents in 121 apartment buildings. Additional online, social media and display advertising to roll-out over next 3 months.

- OUTREACH: SF Environment staff and volunteers participated in total of 15 outreach events-

including Giant Sweeps, Sunday Streets, Street Fairs and Back-to-School celebrations.

to the San Francisco Commuter Benefits Ordinance to determine their level of compliance. The Ordinance, passed in 2009, applies to businesses with locations in the city and 20 or more employees nationwide. With the passage of the Bay Area Commuter Benefits Program in 2014, businesses with more than 50 employees in the city report to the regional program instead of the San Francisco Ordinance.

- TOXICS REDUCTION/GREEN BUSINESS PROGRAM: There are currently 229 Recognized Green

Businesses and 104 businesses in process. The Green Business program has been working very closely with San Francisco International Airport (SFO) airport to recruit retail and restaurants at SFO to the program.

- TOXICS REDUCTION: 45 furniture retailers in San Francisco have now pledged to sell furniture that is free of chemical flame retardants, out of approximately 170 furniture retailers in the City. We are working toward a goal of 50 pledged retailers. There are 144 furniture retailers in California who have pledged to sell furniture that is free of chemical flame retardants.

- ENERGY: The San Francisco Energy Watch Co-pay Microloan pilot program (funded through the SF Carbon Fund) has officially (soft) launched. SFEW and Outreach staff are collaborating on implementing a customer engagement plan to make offers to and enroll customers.

its energy work to the commercial sector. The Energy Team presented the plan to neighboring energy efficiency programs (i.e. East Bay Energy Watch), and was met with wide support.

- ZERO WASTE: Got 43 commercial accounts composting service compliant and two recycling service compliant. Presented to 270 resident assistants and 25 staff at San Francisco State University and Academy of Art University orientations.
