The City Without Irony

Ziggy's Burgers has switched to washable plates and utensils,
which of course use hot water. I'm sure someone has done the
math: heating water vs recycling compostable plates. Hey, but
isn't there a water shortage? (SF Chronicle)

The one-Party City has lost its sense of irony:

S.F. invites world to join in zero-waste initiative

City officials want people to generate no garbage at all, or at least as little as physically possible, and they’re asking the rest of the world to join their cause. The ambitious zero-waste initiative, which would cut greenhouse gas emissions from landfills, will be promoted on the international stage next month when San Francisco hosts the Global Climate Action Summit.

Nearly 20 years after its introduction, the San Francisco recycling program still can't induce many of its own residents to sort trash into the blue, green, and black bins. Thankfully, despite increased calls from activists and government officials to impose fines, San Francisco hasn't yet taken that step.

On a related note, do a Google search on "sidewalk poop" and the first page is all about San Francisco (hey, we're number 1 in number 2!).

Before it preaches to the world about "zero waste", the progressive City by the Bay would do well to clean up its own house and streets.
