Carbon, Compost and Climate Tent
Presidio Main Parade Ground Tent
104 Montgomery St
San Francisco CA
If you’re made of carbon… So everybody… We hope you’ll come by and visit!
We are taking this opportunity to showcase innovative, green programs in the Bay Area. The Presidio Trust and Matter of Trust will host this Carbon, Compost, and Climate education tent at the Main Parade Ground.
Interested in showcasing your organization, your green job, recycling system, compost pile, clean air transportation mode…?
The collected innovative solutions will be posted to social media, and footage provided for free to participating organizations for their PR and educational purposes. On Sunday, a Zero Waste Flash Mob will be filmed for the UN Conference COP 21 in Paris Nov 30–Dec 12, 2015.
There are several exciting ways to get involved:
- Visit the Presidio Main Parade Ground — Carbon, Compost, Climate Tent June 18–21
- Propose a roundtable, panel, or a lecture for the Tent – team@matteroftrust.org
- Join the Zero Waste Flash Mob Sunday, June 21, 2:30 PM
