Saturday, April 14th 10AM to 3PM
Over the next 100 years and beyond, global warming could raise ocean levels to damaging heights around the globe. In San Francisco, rising sea levels would impact our communities, our health, and our way of life. FutureSeaLevel.org is a collaborative art project designed to raise awareness of smart solutions to global warming and the consequence to future generations if we don't act now.
In the photo: The Pulgas Water Temple at Crystal Springs Resevoir, owned by the City and County of San Francisco.
Starting on April 14, the collaborative will be "taping" several buildings at Crissy Field, including Fort Point and the Warming Hut, with custom printed tape to show where the future sea level could be. Stop by and sea what Crissy Field will look like if we don't take action now. Meet and talk to the event organizers and get more info about futuresealevel.org
FutureSeaLevel.org is a collaborative effort of the San Francisco Department of the Environment, the Sierra Club and the Aquarium of the Bay.

And while I'm on the subject of environmental responsibility:
Take the Water Bottle Pledge: Save the Environment & Money!
Plastic water bottles are bad for human health, degrade the environment, add to global warming, and result in huge amounts of waste and litter. All this for a product that is often inferior to San Francisco's tap water. San Francisco is very fortunate to have one of the best, purest and most direct water delivery systems in the United States, a fact that is largey due to our City's ownership of the Hetch Hetchy Dam inYosemite Valley.
The Pledge:
In order to protect my health, take care of the environment, and save money, I pledge to:
1. Stop buying bottled water
2. Drink tap water (safe, filtered and healthy IF you live in the City of San Francisco)
3. Use glass or stainless steel containers for water
To sign the pledge, go to: www.sfenvironment.com

Contrary to the staement above, SF's water is NOT filtered. It should be. Just because it tastes good doesn't mean there aren't health problems.
