John,

As we celebrate Earth Day, we are proud to share that our city continues to lead in climate action and sustainability!

Here in San Francisco, we have always been at the forefront of progress. From launching the nation’s first mandatory composting program nearly three decades ago to achieving a remarkable 48% reduction in carbon emissions from 1990 levels by 2020 – we are taking bold action on climate change.

Unlike the broader goals set by the United States for 2050 and California for 2045, San Francisco has made a commitment to reach carbon neutrality by 2040! 

Our ambitious San Francisco Climate Action Plan includes 174 strategies that not only address environmental impact but also ensure that every San Franciscan benefits from our green initiatives – supporting housing, enhancing public transit, ensuring clean air, and expanding access to nature.

These are important steps forward – but there’s a lot more work ahead. Team Breed is reaching out to key supporters today to ask what climate action initiatives you think will make the biggest impact on the lives of San Franciscans.

It’s important to keep the conversation about climate action going and we’re eager to hear what matters most to you on this issue.

Please take a moment to respond with your thoughts and we’ll share them with the Mayor.

This Earth Day, as we kick off our second annual SF Climate Week, we invite each of you to play an active part in our city's environmental journey. Your engagement is crucial as we forge a path toward a resilient, carbon-free future. 

Together, we can continue to set global benchmarks for environmental responsibility and innovation. Let's celebrate this Earth Day with action and commitment to our planet's future.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to making San Francisco a leader in climate action.
