"San Francisco lags behind other communities in providing a vital, vibrant and ecologically sustainable urban canopy, as well as open space in the city"
- Gavin Newsom
About this Quote
This quote by Gavin Newsom recommends that San Francisco is not doing enough to supply a healthy and sustainable environment for its residents. He is referring to the lack of metropolitan canopy, or trees, and open area in the city. This is a problem because trees and open area are important for a healthy and lively city. Trees supply shade, lower air contamination, and help to cool the city. Open area offers leisure locations for citizens to enjoy and assists to decrease metropolitan heat islands. San Francisco is falling behind other cities in supplying these important elements of a healthy and sustainable environment, and Gavin Newsom is calling for more action to be taken to improve the city's metropolitan canopy and open space.
