Came across this very cool video while doing a little search for the Ecocity World Summit coming to San Francisco in April 22-26, 2008. It is not connected to the World Summit as far as I can tell.

Daily Acts- Sustainability Tours Summer Schedule
Located in the North Bay Area, California, Daily Acts provides some really cool unconventional tours. Last year I headed out to Bolinas in Marin County for a truly unique tour of two permaculture facilities. I highly suggest signing up and taking a tour. If you are visiting the San Francisco region this Summer, what a great way to get off the beaten path and see some of the real west coast.
