Earth Day serves as a call to action; an opportunity for us to reaffirm our commitment to the environment. SFO is an airport industry leader in sustainability, and we have set big goals to achieve zero net energy use, zero waste, and carbon neutrality. By deploying San Francisco’s first public battery-electric buses, we’re on the path to zero emissions in our ground transportation services, leading the way in our quest to be the world’s most sustainable airport.
We have achieved significant success in reducing our carbon footprint and are aiming to achieve carbon neutrality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent from a 1990 baseline, all by 2021. Our carbon dioxide emissions are more than 39% below their level in 1990. In our latest step towards a carbon-neutral campus, we have purchased six new Proterra Catalyst E2 battery-electric buses, designed and built by Burlingame-based transit manufacturer Proterra. The buses will have 27 seats with luggage racks to comfortably accommodate all passengers. These buses are just one piece of SFO’s ongoing, and future, efforts to reduce the Airport’s environmental footprint and create a healthy campus.

Many of the musicians on “Oakland Blues” came from Louisiana and Texas to work in Bay Area shipyards around World War II. This Arhoolie compilation of 1948–57 material spotlights some of those Oakland bluesmen and women originally produced by native Texan Bob Geddins. "Down-Home Music: The Story of Arhoolie Records" is on display, post-security, in Terminal 2. http://bit.ly/StoryofArhoolie . . . #storyofarhoolie #arhoolie #arhoolierecords #ChrisStrachwitz #ManceLipscomb #blues #Oakland #albumcover

It’s National Park Week! Did you know that there used to be an airline named National Parks Airways? Though tiny, it served Utah, Idaho, and Montana in the 1920s and ‘30s, was successful enough to acquire three Boeing 247 aircraft, one of which is featured on its 1937 calendar. In this same year, the airline was absorbed by the Western Air Lines system. Image: National Parks Airways Boeing 247 aircraft wall calendar, 1937.

The 1950s were the golden age of space-themed toys. Catalogs and toy stores offered a multitude of mechanized robots, rocket ships, roving vehicles, and even a robot-driven bulldozer. Robots are the most iconic, space-themed toys. Japanese manufacturers pioneered the robot toy craze in the late 1940s with Atomic Robot Man, a wind-up, tin lithograph toy that walked on its own. "The Modern Consumer: Products and Style" is on display, post-security, in Terminal 3. http://bit.ly/1950sConsumer . . . #1950sConsumer #1950s #robots #50s #midcentury #toys #space
