Thinkshift is proud to support San Francisco Baykeeper with our annual 1% for the Planet donation. This scrappy organization counts major successes year after year in protecting our hometown’s iconic bay—and they do it on a lean budget. Baykeeper uses a combination of science and consensus building to set goals, and then achieves those goals via advocacy, governmental policy and legal action. We love that—it’s effective, and results in good policies and strong regulations that deliver lasting results. We also love both Baykeeper’s eagerness to work with enterprises to reduce pollution and its commitment to go after the laggards, no matter what it takes. In addition, they’re genuinely transparent, with full disclosure of their finances and operations on their website.
