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
So, the replacing the 100 renewable in our plan is going to be difficult. Now, there are some things that we can do around the edges. One of the slices there is bart 100 renewable by 2030. We can get them to go green, thats great. We have another 11 of the electricity that are direct Access Commercial customers where they could decide as businesses that the right thing for them to do is to go 100 green. So, if we can convince them, and that would be a voluntary activity on their part, that we might be able to reach another piece of the market. The question is how are we going to get to the rest of it. And thats a challenge thats been discussed at this commission and i know will be discussed in the future. So, im not going to go through each one of these parts. I will point out that urban forest is the light blue wedge at the top. Be great to see that expanded, or expanding any of these wedges. Some of them are under influence from the department of the environment. Some of them are not
So, in general, i think im sorry, i missed one. I meant to discuss the little statistics at the bottom of this graph. We have overall at this point an 84 reduction in all pesticides since the beginning of the program. Since 2000, which is when we really got our system best organized, its been at 62 . Since 2007, which is fiveyear mark, its been a 6 reduction. As you can see its very bumpy, depending on climate, depending on budget, depending on all sorts of things. Depending on golf as well . And depending on golf. So, we are trying to find other ways other ways to lower that which ill talk about in a second. A few other things worthy of note. What we are moving towards instead of along with with trying to get rid of the bad stuff on the list of pesticides are more prevention im sorry, more emphasis on prevention. One of the big accomplishments this year was the roll out of our pest prevention by Design Guidelines, which is a comprehensive list of things, ways to build pests out of bui
Like renewable electricity where youre taking already whats connected to the home, its already connected to the building and youre just changing the quality of it, thats a lot easier to do. Its a lot cheaper to do. So, 100 renewable. We could think of that in terms of natural gas also. We just arent that many dairy farms out there that we can pump the gas and the lines and start promoting green gas. So, the replacing the 100 renewable in our plan is going to be difficult. Now, there are some things that we can do around the edges. One of the slices there is bart 100 renewable by 2030. We can get them to go green, thats great. We have another 11 of the electricity that are direct Access Commercial customers where they could decide as businesses that the right thing for them to do is to go 100 green.

Months is what about the municipal Greenhouse Gas emissions reductions. Weve actually been tracking that data since the mid since, well, probably started 6 years ago, 8 years ago, started tracking that data. So, we havent been able to bring down the municipal usage at the same amount because weve had more time to run on the Community Wide data. So, just a little bit of a context on the data piece of this is that this report uses 2010 data. And you might be thinking this is 2014. Why are we using 2010 data . We collect data on the Community Wide basis about every two years because it takes a lot of effort to do it. And it takes a long time. For example, a pg e representative just told me the other day that they still had not completed the coefficient of Greenhouse Gas emissions verified and approved for the 2012 data. So, even if we tried to collect the 20 2012 data today, we would not be able to. We would have the data this summer and go to thirdparty verification and go you through th
