We are about to start Hard Hat Tours of the Matter of Trust Model Eco-Home. It consists of an ecological apartment and urban, permaculture garden. This place is for gathering ideas and suggestions on how city dwelling renters and owners can go green. The Eco-Home will showcase a cozy, environmentally designed space with warm, earthy colors and clean bright areas. Here, we are celebrating urban eco-communities and concentrating on the microcosms of a healthy mind, body and soil. It complements our Eco-Industrial Hub’s model factory and its “macrocosm” themes: air, water, energy and manufacturing. Both are made to inspire, enchant and engage visitors of all ages. We invite conversation on incentives and perspectives and how to collectively create a healthy future.

The Eco-Home is located in the lovely Cole Valley/Haight Ashbury district of San Francisco, at:

728 Cole Street, San Francisco, CA 94117.

We will be open to visitors, field trips, corporate off-sites, lectures, workshops, roundtables and more!
