Reusable cups are moving beyond venues — and into the streets of San Francisco. At Downtown First Thursdays, we helped launch the city’s first reusable, returnable cup program for a street event. At an event that brought 9,000 people downtown, the idea was simple: Use the cup. Return the cup. Wash it. Use it again. That’s how reuse becomes normal. Good for downtown. Good for small businesses. Good for the environment. Thank you to ABC7 News Bay Area for covering this milestone. And grateful to Katy, Downtown First Thursdays, Into The Streets SF, RWorld, Scott Rowitz Yerba Buena Partnership, The East Cut Community Benefit District, our wonderful small business partners, and the SFE Zero Waste team for helping bring this to life.

In 1995, San Francisco chose to build something different. Today, we see those choices in a greener, more sustainable city—one that continues to inspire others around the world. Now, we’re pushing the next wave of climate action and resilience. This is 30 years of the San Francisco Environment Department and we’re just getting started. #SFE30

Last week, Yes SF and the @sf_chamber were proud to bring together San Francisco’s leading climate partners to kick off Climate Week 2026 at Oracle Park. Alongside Mayor @danielluriesf , @alaskaair , @clearchanneloutdoor , Deloitte, Recology, and @sfenvironment leaders, we welcomed the community for an evening focused on San Francisco’s climate momentum and the partnerships helping carry it forward. The event marked the City’s first update to the Climate Action Plan in five years, unveiled alongside new sustainability initiatives and a growing ecosystem designed to scale top climate innovators. Hosted by Yes SF, a program of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce Foundation, the convening brought together public agencies, business leaders, sustainability partners, and local innovators to highlight how San Francisco is moving from long-term climate ambition into coordinated action. The program featured remarks from guest speakers The Honorable Daniel Lurie, @sfgiants CEO Larry Baer, California Public Utilities Commission Executive Director Leuwam Tesfai, San Francisco Chamber of Commerce CEO Rodney Fong, Deloitte US CEO Jason Girzadas, Alaska Airlines CA Managing Director David Tucker, and Giants alumni Hunter Pence.
