Haight Drinks Its Way to Greener Streets

Civic do-gooders the city over should look to Haight Street for inspiration: Residents and merchants recently imbibed their way to nabe improvement, raking in the funds for 20 new trees by organizing a bar crawl that brought out over 90 neighbors to six bars. Elementary school kids— who else?— designed metal guards for said trees, which now line the 300, 400, and 500 blocks of Haight. [Haight Ashbury Beat]
