SAN FRANCISCO: GOAL ZERO WASTE

San Francisco is among the greenest city in the world and would like to become the greenest in America. 

 

 

The goal is to transform 100% of its waste by 2020. Businesses and residents alike are part of the effort. They have been asked for many years to recycle and compost. Non-compostable plastic bags have been banned from supermarket and pharmacies. And customers are now charged a dime for paper bags and encouraged to bring back their own reusable bags. 

 

 

A French TV program "Complement d'enquete" was recently aired about our environmentally conscious San Francisco.
