Really wanted to create a box of nobody else could create it is going to outdo everybody. You know its just sort of, you know, it was fascinating and it grew really frustrating for all the people from apple who moved over to next with him you know . They all eventually come i think everybody eventually left. Left. I was struck by the number of interviews that youve quoted in that section when hes trying to build next enemy times hes referring to apple. In almost every interview as you were talking about it hes referring back to apple or his comparing something thats being done with something apple is doing. Was that the case that was his only reference point. I dont think he was just obsessed with it, which he probably was but thats all he knew. Thats the thing people forget about steve. He spent a year or have major in college, he went to india, worked for atari, but that was not a real like very corporate job by any means. And so his only experience with anything had been really appl
Representatives of new industries, really new green businesses that are thinking about how we can both do better by the environment as well as create new jobs here in San Francisco and throughout california. And then i did want to address a couple of the issues that were raised by the 0 billion industry and their testimony. First of all, the suggestion that somehow this ordinance might deprive san franciscans after an earthquake of plastic Water Bottles or somehow deprive those individuals with compromised immune systems of their plastic Water Bottles. ~ 60 as i said before, this ordinance does nothing visavis the private sector. You can go to walgreens, you can to your corner store, safeway and get as many plastic Water Bottles as you can carry home. So, i want to just emphasize that. And secondly, there is a bit of a green washing suggestion that somehow bottled water has a lower environmental footprint. And i want to just mention a couple of things. While it is, according to the ind
Water. We saved tax payers nearly 500,000 a year and underscored the importance of our public water system. Supervisor chius ordinance build on that legacy by codifying this commitment into law and increasing access to public water on city property. It is an important step toward ensuring our community has access to choose clean and safe public water. And by reinvesting in and promoting public water over bottled water, San Francisco will set an important example for other cities and people across the country. The bottled water industry has had misleading marketing [speaker not understood]. Public water is much more regulated than bottled water and is the best way to ensure access for water to everyone. Not just those who can pay a market price. Water is a public good, not a commodity to be bought and sold. And as of 2007 executive order, the ripple of this leadership will be felt in cities and towns across the u. S. A strong stand in this ordinance for public water and making a powerfu
[speaker not understood] Distribution Services and expanding access to public water is really important. Also wanted to mention that free Water Bottles are the biggest problem weve noticed. Sometimes when free Water Bottles are given out, they dont get consumed fully and we cant even pull the bag out of the bin because its full of water. So, thats just something to keep in mind. Thank you very much. I support it and i appreciate the work. Sir, i have a question. In terms of you said San Francisco is more challenging than other cities in terms of the hookups, and obviously thats something we want to address, can you sort of briefly maybe be a little more specific what those challenges are . Because i know were all commit today trying to address that. A number of events like the street fair, bringing in decompression that we do, try to hook it up and havent had anyplace to hookup. The Parks Department said the water wasnt potable or there wasnt anyway to hookup unless we were to actually
