DESCRIPTION:Community gardeners who were misled into accepting toxic sewage sludge from 
 the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) are giving the sludge 
 back to the Mayor's office.  \nTwice a year since 2007, the SFPUC has 
 hosted “Compost Giveaway Events” in locations throughout the city.  
 Although the city has marketed the material as “organic compost” or 
 “organic fertilizer,” it turns out that it is really toxic sludge 
 generated by San Francisco and seven other counties’ industrial, 
 hospital, commercial and residential sewage.\nIn fact, the USDA explicitly 
 prohibits food grown in sewage sludge, or in any “product” derived from 
 sewage sludge, to be labeled organic.  Sewage sludge is a noxious stew 
 derived from all the industrial, hospital, commercial, residential and 
 radioactive wastes and stormwater runoff that end up in municipal sewer 
 systems.\nSpearheaded by the Organic Consumers Association and joined by 
 representatives of dozens of local environmental groups, citizens will dump 
 the sludge on the steps of City Hall and hand deliver a letter calling for 
 Mayor Newsom to1) end the give-aways and 2) clean up the school yards and 
 backyard gardens that have been contaminated with sewage sludge.\n
