The Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council (HANC) has operated Kezar Gardens Ecology Center, the longest-running recycling center in San Francisco, since the 1970s. But due to land-use pressures from local neighbors, San Francisco's Recreation and Park Department has plans to evict HANC and replace it with a community garden. The eviction of the recycling center will negatively impact local businesses and reduce the effectiveness of San Francisco's sustainable recycling program.
Causes.com is hosting a discussion with the Save Kezar Gardens organizer, Soumyaa Kapil Behrens, neighborhood stakeholders, and other Bay Area activists and organizations to collaborate on the campaign to keep the ecology center.
This discussion will be a great opportunity to learn more about California's recycling laws and the impact they have on local communities.
