National and local support for One Atmosphere's
SF Climate Challenge
"I urge everyone, whether they are in the public or private sector, to join a team and compete in the SF Climate Challenge"
Al Gore, Former Vice President of the United States and Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize
"The SF Climate Challenge is a great opportunity for everyday San Franciscans to contribute directly to the fight against global warming. The SF Climate Challenge will help us re-think our home energy usage and teach practical long-term conservation. And, it will do so in a way that is both entertaining and rewarding."
Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives
"Lights Out SF reminds us that the problem of global warming is not going away. We need to keep taking action. San Francisco is a national leader in the fight against climate change. But we can always do more. The SF Climate Challenge is a terrific opportunity for San Franciscans to help make a difference right now, while having some fun along the way. I hope that everyone signs up for the SF Climate Challenge as soon as they turn on the lights."
Gavin Newsom, Former Mayor of San Francisco
"Lights Out SF is a terrific event that reminds us of the need to conserve energy. When San Francisco residents turn their lights back on, I want to encourage them to stay involved in the fight against climate change. One easy way is to sign-up for the SF Climate Challenge, a contest among teams of San Francisco households to save energy at home for one month. The SF Climate Challenge is a great way for all of us to keep leading the fight, and it is a particularly good way to teach our children about conservation and how to positively impact the environment."
Michela Alioto-Pier, Former Member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors
"SF Climate Challenge is an innovative way to get San Franciscans thinking about their energy consumption. I'm signing on, and I encourage others to as well. Residential energy use accounts for a significant proportion of greenhouse gas emissions in San Francisco and the United States. The Climate Challenge is an opportunity for residents to become part of the solution right away by focusing on their own energy consumption. Awareness is the first step toward real change."
Aaron Peskin, Former President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors
