A website to continue citizen-based advocacy for sustainability following publication of San Francisco's Sustainability Plan in 1997. From their website,
Sustainable City's advocacy for a sustainable future -- one that provides for the needs of the present without sacrificing the ability of future generations and the natural world to provide for their own needs -- is embodied in the Sustainability Plan for the City of San Francisco, featured on this website. Over 350 San Franciscans -- community activists and people representing many city government agencies, over 100 businesses, and academia -- gathered in working groups in 1996 to draft the "rough game-plan that is necessary for a concerted effort to achieve a sustainable society." In July, 1997, the goals and objectives of the sustainability plan became policy of the City and County of San Francisco.
Our Website
In its introduction, the sustainability plan is described as "an invitation to all San Franciscans to think about a common future, and an opportunity to make a choice of the routes to that end." This website is intended to be a resource for all those who accept that invitation -- those already participating in San Francisco's many environmental advocacy, service and municipal organizations, and those just now looking for a way to get a handle on this complex challenge we share.
