Green in San Francisco: America's Greenest City


Hybrid San Francisco taxis - our solar-powered convention center - Green politics are sweeping the world and giving rise to ecotourism and San Francisco is at the cutting edge of this new movement.

One of the top 10 Best U.S. Walking Cities according to the American Podiatric Medical Association, San Francisco is the ideal turf to do a little sole searching. Visitors can explore the neighborhoods on self-guided walks of Union Square, Fisherman’s Wharf, Chinatown, North Beach and Pacific Heights or explore the city step by step with BarbaryCoastTrail.org

This past June the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed legislation to implement a 10-year solar rebate program for local residents, businesses and non-profits. It is the first solar rebate of its kind and size offered by a city in the U.S. and will create the nation’s largest municipal solar program.

San Francisco is green, clean, and organic—the architecture is high-tech and eco-friendly, and the food is excruciatingly fresh and local. Is this the world’s first true 21st-century city?" So asked Travel + Leisure magazine. Read the remarkable answers.
