Change. Recently we have moved food, and food is a very, very important part of survival, development and recovery. Partnered with a friend of mine who developed a green, mobile Health Education kitchen, with a small grant, we have a truck, a flame, a flameless stove. We go directly into the sros and we take the residents down from their rooms. And have them entertained, we serve them, we show them an opportunity to change the way that they have been eating without pressure. And move on. And we just keep that cycle up. We dont leave. We give everybody an opportunity to experience a night out on the town. And without ever leaving their own residence. It has been very effective. And since i have been with the task force, i feel that it is absolutely imperative that i work with them. So that they can continue to develop policies for change. And i will make sure that each one of you have one of my cards. This is printed on vegetable ink, totally organic, and you can almost eat that thing.
Internally, to execute on that. President omotalde thank you. Commissioner wald commissioner wald thank you both for coming in. Its good to see both of you again. So, this is sort of a follow to commissioner hoyos question. If you achieve your goals, this can be a ripple effect. Youre going to have vast numbers of new writers and those people are going to the park, if thats the technical term, in San Francisco and a lot of them are going to get on other kinds of public transportation. Whether its bike were buses or whatever. So, i would welcome, at least assurance, or it is not a big discussion, that you are not only talking to the departments about its expertise, but that you are at least trying to get sort of a candle on all the parts of the city family in San Francisco that will be impacted by the achievement of your goals. Particularly, in terms of ridership. Both in terms of increasing the number of people who ride and how they get to your vehicles. Its not just in San Francisco.
Thank you chair, and all. My name is christopher and live commenting on more bad news. Within the last two weeks climate scientists have presented more alarming reports. These are on our southern Antarctic Ice cap and the reports describe once again how the warming climate and oceans are accelerating the ever Faster Movement of ice mass the size of california, averaging over a kilometer in thickness. Into the worlds oceans resulting in multimeter sealevel rise by the end of the century. Once again scientists are lowballing the numbers and once again their predictions will lag reality. My prediction is still 50 by 55, that is 2055. My prediction is that by that time Climate Change will disrupt food production, that Climate Change will bring famine, that Climate Change will provoke war among the nations over vanishing resources. My solution is still using freely Available Energy to desalinate freshwater to irrigate new trees. What can you do to help . And i would move the absence of a qu
