Thank you to Johnathan Smith at SFPUC for making this happen. He really opened our eyes to our role in managing our waste and inspired us all to spread the word. Thank you to Dale and Rusty for showing us around the control room.
Waste Water Reflections
“I’ll try not to flush as many times in a day. I’ll try to use less fresh water.”
~Shannon
“I’ll try not to waste water! I’m going to spread the word about not flush garbage.”
~Gena
“It was very, very, very stinky. I learned the water we flush goes back to the ocean. I was surprised that sewer water ends up so clear… it starts out in such an awful condition.”
~Alex
“It shocked me what people put down the drains and toilets. I’ll think twice before I flush anything down the toilet. I can teach my parents about what they should put down the drain.”
~Daphna
“I was impressed by how much of SF waste is transformed to clean water, compost and methane energy.”
~Wendy
“Visiting the sewer isn’t something I would normally do. I’m going to be way more cautious about what I flush!”
~Natalia
“I care more about what I flush!”
~Paolo
“I was surprised to see how clean and organized a waste treatment facility can be! It was wonderful to see how our waste is being put to use in creating compost and bio fuels.”
~Isaac
“I think differently about global warming. Now I know SF isn’t putting everything into the ocean and I feel better.”
~Hannah
“It was so fun being in the SFPUC’s laboratory! We all need to experience the biological waste we produce in this way. The sights, sounds and smells are powerful. I feel more connected to what is really happening and am ready to be more responsible for my impact on the environment.”
~Todd
