Most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. Is that true . Loma prieta was different. The ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. So anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. We are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to San Francisco and a fault totally independent. Much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. So people who were here in 89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isnt really the threshold of damage. When you triple it you cross that line. Its much more damage in earthquake. I want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for evening everyone, welcome to the San Francisco commission on the environment. Today is tuesday 24th and it is 5 08 p. M. And we ask you that you turn off your cell phones and the first item on the agenda i

You are trading one problem for the other. Furthermore, if you are at a race, you are not going to carry a cup with you in the race, you want a bottle and so you can put the top back on it and you know, any way, this for a multitude of reasons i think is or needs to be hashed out a little bit further. I agree. And i want to ask a question because commissioner rilely brought up the same thing, all of your sodas and most of the teas are sold on plastic containers, most everything is in plastic containers and so what is the difference between water, and a soda and when you
