The green movement sweeping the world is tranforming San Francisco from grass roots to rooftop.

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. Notably:

• San Francisco has the largest city-owned solar installation in the country, a 75 kilowatt solar array atop Moscone Center, the City’s princial convention center.
• The city has pledged to convert 100% of the San Francisco’s taxi fleet to hybrid or alternate fuel vehicle.
• San Francisco is the first U.S. city to ban plastic shopping bags.
• San Francisco currently has a 77% recycling rate. The city’s goal was 75% by by 2010 and zero waste by 2020.
• San Francisco is a primary reason that California has the most green jobs in the country with 125,000. The city recently passed $100 million worth of bonds to go toward future sustainable work. More than half of area commuters use public transportation.
• San Francisco earned the title of America’s Least Wasteful City.
