This spring, the San Francisco Department of the Environment (SF Environment) set its sights on the Bayview and deployed all its outreach resources for a zero waste campaign to residents.

Environment Now, SF Environment’s green jobs program, is the anchor of this campaign. Between March and July they will knock on the doors of all 8,000 single family homes in the Bayview and talk to residents about composting, recycling, and those things that don’t go in any bin (like batteries and paint).

Why is this so exciting? Because there is a transformation that is taking place in this community and it’s being led by its residents.
