Build dense housing and a proper rail network. Bring back the water bottles (and recycle them after use -- I know, what an alien idea)

The Bay Area is this weird mixture of large-scale environmental destruction (through terrible urbanism and obsolete/inexistent infrastructure) and performative environmentalism (e.g. plastic bottle ban at SFO)

You might want to try moving to another area if you want total performative environmentalism like Portland, Austin, or Denver.

There’s a lot of terrible land use and lack of infrastructure in America. SF has seen ~ 40% reduction in CO2 per capita, despite a growing population since 1995 (as per GPC), which puts us almost 75% below US averages (which isn’t saying much, I know), right in line with NYC.

Transportation and housing make up a combined almost 90% of our emissions, though buildings have experienced an almost 50% reductions since 1990, while transportation is essentially flat. A major initiative for transportation is hugely overdue and totally lacking in vision.

Also some unexpected ties between tech companies and the largest source of CO2 emissions of Europe.https://twitter.com/JoanieLemercier/status/1112771932074770433?s=20 …
This monster is built with@Autodesk. With a capacity of 480 000 tons of CO2 emissions per day, the "RWE excavator 290" is featured on Autodesk's website as: "A success story"
