The format relies on neighbor-to-neighbor education and hyperlocal resources. Organizers believe the tour is a fun and effective way to inspire neighbors and speed the transition to a more sustainable future. The Marin Green Home Tour shines a light on the proven strategies that residents can adopt for healthier, more comfortable homes, smaller energy bills, and improved indoor air quality. Marin’s buildings are responsible for as much as 34% of local greenhouse gas emissions, and both homeowners and renters are encouraged to explore opportunities to make their homes more energy-efficient and less reliant on fossil fuels.
