[background noises] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] good morning everyone. Welcome to the launch event for 202323 Agency International outlook. The director of the Climate Change program and i cannot tell you how excited i am for todays event. This is an event on a biannual basis. One of the things we get most excited about not just in the United States but the world. As we try to consider plans for our Energy Future. I have to say our colleagues at the eia gets harder and harder each year to think about the pace of Prospective Energy and think about the challenges. And im obligated to buy you ice cream. So thank you very much for joining us today. If youre watching live, there should be a question live on the event page. We will see some of the key outputs this morning from director and colleague angelina
Presentation that chris made. First of all, i have a question about whether it really is work putting in so much pesticide into the natural areas. And the fact is that i dont think that the numbers that weve showed on that graph for Pesticide Use are accurate. Going back to what i said in the database, just off the top of my head, there were two months of data missing in 2010. There was at least one month of data missing in 2013. There were three or four different reports that didnt get included in 2012. So, i think the database is working to its greater accuracy. I dont know if its there yet. Certainly at the little subset i looked at which was natural areas, its still not right. So, i cant speak to what happened before 2008 and 2009. Thats the earliest information that ive got. But certainly in the last few years the Natural Areas Program has been using a lot of pesticide and i understand why. Their job cannot be done without it. The question is, is that job worth doing . Is it worth

They are mike robial products that are in storm drains or hormones that are in tiny, tiny amounts ~. So, thats the rationale for not looking at that. These are the top 10 most used hazardous products in the city based on active ingredient, pounds of active ingredient. Youll see most of them are for golf courses.

The good news is since we i think in 2008 identified garalon as one of the products we wanted to find substitutes for, there has been some decrease in our usage of it. This is N
Conference we cosponsored, the city of crest and Parks Conservancy and many thanks to them for helping out in that effort. Based on the Design Training which is the first of its kind in San Francisco, we had this past year, and every year we have a complete round of annual pesticide safety and ipm trainings for anyone who is remotely involved with pesticides. And, of course, our monthly meetings at the ipm Technical Advisory Committee which its about 10 times a year is what it amounts to. I also wanted to mention we launched a project to turn the pest prevention by Design Guidelines into a lead pilot credit. So, this is what the u. S. Green building council, were using the same National Committee that helped put this these guidelines together to try to turn it into something thats permanently enshined in leed. So, im crossing my fingers about that one. And as i mentioned, we completed, i put quotes around that. We completed the [speaker not understood] database. There are still some bi
