Requests Granted From: Supervisor Alioto-Pier To: City Attorney Requesting/Inquiring: Requesting the City Attorney to draft a request to require the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to implement a program requiring our public schools to become 100% carbon neutral by the year 2009 through the use of solar panels on each school. The legislation will also make certain that sufficient funds are allocated to realize this goal. As we are aware, climate change presents a serious threat to San Francisco in a myriad of ways. One way to locally combat carbon emissions that are contributing to overall global warming and its devastating effects is to require the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to make certain that our public schools meet their energy needs through solar power. From: Supervisor Alioto-Pier To: City Attorney Requesting/Inquiring: To further combat carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming and overall climate change, I am introducing a drafting request to the City Attorney's office for a City environmental offset program. The program would require every airline trip taken by a City and County of San Francisco employee and paid for with City dollars to be offset through a city-authorized program. Currently more than four dozen companies worldwide sell carbon offsets, which are credit for cutting emissions through green energy projects.
