The SETTLING IN THE CITY: MARINA GREEN SHOWHOUSE embodies San Francisco's reputation as a beacon of successful environmentalism in action. Led by Mayor Gavin Newsom, the city continues to set the national pace for ground-breaking programs like the Livable City Initiative, a program that encourages local residents, businesses and other community groups to make greening improvements to their homes and neighborhoods.

The SETTLING IN THE CITY: MARINA GREEN SHOWHOUSE is a showcase for Earth-friendly building technologies such as solar panels, recycled materials, double-pane windows, thermally efficient insulation, low-VOC paints and energy conserving appliances.
