Greening Cities

Living on Earth

San Francisco plays host to this year’s World Environment Day, and organizers hope to use the occasion to spur the mayors of the world’s largest cities to take concrete steps toward making their metropolises more environmentally sustainable. Host Steve Curwood talks to Jared Blumenfeld, who directs the city’s Department of the Environment, about what those steps are and how viable they might be.
