Green Friday: 'Racing to Zero'

At the January Green Friday Racing To Zero will be shown.  Racing To Zero is a documentary film 55 minutes long shown at the Mill Valley Film Festival in October, 2014 that portrays the existing programs and plans of San Francisco's high "let's end waste" goals.  Racing To Zero is quick-moving and upbeat, presenting new solutions to the global problem of waste.  The mayor of San Francisco had pledged to achieve zero waste by 2020.  Racing To Zero tracks San Francisco's waste stream diversion tactics and presents San Francisco's innovative new solutions to waste.  The film features highlights of program operators and their elected sponsors.

Following the film, two members of the Sierra Club chapter's zero waste committee, David Haskell, committee chair and Arthur Boone (who worked in the San Francisco zero waste program for four years) will comment and offer suggestions on future prospects for waste reduction work.
