San Francisco will be Carbon Neutral for Official Travel
Dec 18
Mayor Newsome today announced that all official travel will be carbon neutral. The City will invest in carbon offsetting activities to compensate for every flight taken by a member of City Hall. The program will not require any additional funding or taxes and will be paid for by savings from overall reductions in official travel (another good way to reduce the carbon footprint).
The best part is they intend to invest the carbon offset funds in local activities such as tree planting, converting restaurant grease into fuel, and installing solar panels.
