We are two cities, but we are sharing one incredible environmental asset, that is our beautiful bay. We really want to emphasize this year that every neighborhood has storm drains that flow into our bay so taking care of our bay is not just about cleaning up at did beach or on the coastline. We want people in our neighborhoods. We need our neighborhoods to be clean, healthy, shiny, beautiful. That is what this is about in oakland. Let me be clear with you all, we have over 2000 volunteers already signed up. [applause. ] i am happy to report oakland is in the lead as of now. However, people,na lead is narrow. Let us San Francisco has twice the population, but oakland has twice the pride. [cheers. ] there is no pride like an oakland pride, whether you are from the city or the town. I think we have to show the town shows up for its community, right . That is how we do it in oakland. I am excited after we hear from our mayor we will hear from a community leader. I want be to thank the people who dont just do picking up on earth day, they do it every day. We hope that coming out of our battle 4 bay you say i love this picking up trash. I want to do this all of the time because it makes me feel good to make my beautiful neighborhood clean, healthy, and i connect with my neighbors this way. That is what is beautiful. Now, mayor breed, we have been talking about a little wager, all right . Mayor, i dare you if you lose in the battle for who has the most volunteers, i challenge you to come volunteer with me wearing all as gear as gear. [applause. ] this is a wager. I want you volunteering with me at a charity with me wearing your as gear. Do you accept my challenge, mayor breed . Mayor breed that is hard. Wearing as gear . That is a bit much. I will accept. She accepts. I know we are going to win so she has to wear the giants gear. No, no. Nobody looks good in orange. Before i give up the microphone i have to recognize a few important supporters. The California Coastal commission facilitates this entire event all over our state. [applause. ] our oakland parks and Recreation Foundation is a fiscal agent for both cities for this challenge.

[applause. ] all right. London, show me what you got. Mayor breed let me start by saying, i have never been this excited since the Oakland Raiders and the 49ers played the last time at candlestick where we won. And we all know that in San Francisco we dont talk big, we just do big stuff. Mayor, my sister from across the bay, i accept your challenge because in San Francisco we already make cleaning up and greening and taking care of our city a regular part of what we do. In fact, every single month mr. Clean, our director of public works, mr. Clean himself, organizations incredible groups like united players and other folks out there taking care of the streets. Here is the thing. We have amazing volunteers. We have amazing people who work for the department of public works and the rec and parks department. Phil ginsburg is here, amazing people who cleanup the bay. We have to do more. Mayor, i have seen you on more than one occasion wearing your love oak land tshirt and i love San Francisco. When people go around loving the city. Proof that you love your city. Roll up your sleeves, take care of your community, and you grew up in San Francisco, born and raised just like may or schaaf. Born and raised in oakland. One of the things my grandmother used to do is make us cleanup in front of where we lived. I did i kicking and screaming. It is paying attention to making sure my actions reflect how i feel about my city, that i am not just throwing garbage on the ground or putting Water Bottles in recycle and doing things to keep the city clean but to protect our environment. In San Francisco we have bee han doing an incredible job leading the way in a number of environmental policies. Our director of the department of environment is here. Thank you so much. The toughest band in the country, pushing for aggressive drug take off, continuing to work with the Coastal Commission to save our bay. Yes, this is a competition and San Francisco will win, but ultimately, Climate Change is real, and we have to start with young people. We have to start implementing the kinds of policies in San Francisco and throughout the world to make this planet the best place for generations to come. Just think about it. In San Francisco we never needed an airconditioner before. We have had record temperatures in the 90s that are unprecise departmented. We have to start taking care of the bay, the communities, taking care of each other, and also winning the bet, more importantly. San franciscans, it is time to step up to show your love. Step up to make sure you sign up and volunteer because you dont want to see your mayor wearing as gear, do you . You do not want to see that site. Make sure we step up on the 21st.

Thank you so much. Lets win, San Francisco. Well said, mayors. That was excellent. That is a rally. Oakland and San Francisco if i havent heard one like that.

I am part of the trash trackers in San Francisco. What i do. I track down trash. Somebody auto say yeah. I track it down. I locate it, find it and clean it up. I have been doing that for 30 years. We have been doing this a long time. We are glad to have oakland come to be a part of this. Guess what . We are going to win we already won it. Mayor breed, we got this. We accept the challenge and we are going to do it. I am reminded of a homeless friend of mine. He has been sleeping in tents three years. He is a sad looking guy but a happy looking guy. Every morning at 8 30 a. M. He gets up and cleans up around his tent. Then he goes to the other block and cleans other homeless men and womens tents. That is a good example of a community. We are going to have the homeless folks get out and cleanup, too. Understand this. Our homeless folks arent the only ones that are making the city dirty. That is not the truth. It is construction workers, churches, ymca, it is all of us. It takes the whole community to clean up the community. Wouldnt you agree with me . That is what we come to do today. I am proud to tell mr. Smith on september 21st right here in San Francisco you can come out and help us cleanup the city. applause . You should be happy about that. I want to say that our lovely mayor. We really appreciate you. laughter . You are our friend and oakland is our friend. We love you also much. What we are going to do. Once we win, we are going to come back over to oakland and help you all. We will help you out. We might go with you to all get together and cleanup. Am i right . This is our city, this is our california. Lets do it, San Francisco and oakland, lets do it. I have a new thing to look at. I wish i had music. We pick it up and bag it up. You have to get rhythm. Anybody have rhythm. Here we go. Pick it up, bag it up. Pick it up, bag it up. Pick it up, bag it up lets go San Francisco that is catchy.
