The seven member San Francisco Entertainment Commission, nominated, appointed and approved by the San Francisco Mayor and Board of Supervisors, is serious about its role in not only regulating the nighttime businesses that are so important to the city of San Francisco, but also about educating their owners, managers, and staff. To that end, The San Francisco Entertainment Commission has created a series of seminars that cover the most important components of running a successful entertainment business.
Guest speakers confirmed include, but are not limited to: Mike Zuckerman - Sustainability Director - Temple SF Mike on 'Greening' Temple SF: "We started with consumables - the no-brainers, such as compostable cups and straws, all of which are cornstarch based. We recycle our bottles and we compost our food. The easiest things to implement are the ones with immediate financial returns. We get rebates and receive credits on our waste bills by keeping up good recycling and composting practices. We try to take the decision making out of the partiers hands when they get to the venue so all they need to think about is having a good time."
