How does our use of cell phones in San Francisco contribute to the disappearance of endangered mountain gorilla habitat in the Democratic Republic of the Congo? Join us for an exhibit that explores how our daily habits affect the global environment, and learn how you can take personal action locally in being part of the solution worldwide. In this exhibit, art serves as the catalyst to stimulate dialogue about seven topics including Waste Reduction, Water, Environmental Health, Transportation, Urban Design, Urban Nature, and Energy. This exhibit was produced in collaboration with the City of San Francisco's Mayors Office of Neighborhood Services and the San Francisco Department of the Environment, and made possible through the generous support of the Wattis Foundation.
