Green Cities Event in San Francisco

The Clean & Cool Mission to San Francisco is going very well, though I’m finding my frequent flights of recent days have hammered whatever it was that I got a week-and-a-half ago down into my lungs. Still, I managed not to collapse into paroxysms of coughing during the Green Cities event last night. Today, the city is cloaked in rain, but I ventured out to have lunch with Jennifer Biringer and Patrin Watanatada of SustainAbility at a nice vegetarian restaurant. This evening: an event at Arup – cities again, I expect, a theme that makes much sense, since that’s where the bulk of us now live, and that innovations tend to evolve not independently but in clusters.
