This video captures as well as it can some of the excitement of this tour, and seeing a wide variety of businesses and programs that support a local green economy. I've gone on the tour and even live close to some of these businesses, not knowing about them really. Every community has its story, and this video tells a compelling tale of the San Francisco East Bay green community.
