DESCRIPTION:Is Dad Green?  Take him on a Solar Tour this Father’s Day.\n \n \n \nFree 
 Solar Water Heating Tour & Exhibit\nEvent Celebrates International Solar 
 Day\n \nMore Information at: www.solarday.com\n \n \nWHAT:          Free 
 Solar Water Heating Tour & Exhibit. Biodiesel buses will shuttle 
 participants to five sites. \n \nWHO:             Open to the public\n 
 \nWHEN:          Sunday, June 21, 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM\n \nWHERE:        
 Justin Herman Plaza\n \nWHY:             With rising energy costs and 
 increasing environmental concerns, San Franciscans are searching for more 
 information about renewable energy options. While solar electric has 
 received a good deal of attention, solar water heating has been largely 
 overlooked. The Solar Water Heating Tour & Exhibit will educate San 
 Franciscans on how to turn their twin desires for lower monthly utility 
 costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions into reality.\n \n \nSan Francisco 
 - A Solar Water Heating Tour & Exhibit, designed to educate residents, 
 businesses, multi-tenant building owners and non-profits on the advantages 
 of solar water heating, will be held on Sunday, June 21. The free tour will 
 visit five installations in the City—including homes, businesses and 
 multi-tenant buildings—and will be held in conjunction with a Solar Water 
 Heating Exhibit in Justin Herman Plaza. Biodiesel buses will leave at 10:00 
 and 11:00 AM on a first-come, first-served basis. \n \nThe tour will 
 include information on solar water heating costs and incentive programs, 
 installation, and environmental impacts. The event is part of Solar Day 
 2009, the first annual celebration of solar energy and its role in national 
 energy independence, to be held on the first day of summer.\n \nA typical 
 household in San Francisco spends almost $1,000 a year on gas bills. With 
 existing federal tax credits and a state-wide solar water heating incentive 
 program on the horizon, solar water heating can be an increasingly 
 attractive option.\n \n “Water heating accounts for more than 4% of San 
 Francisco’s total CO2 emissions,” said Jared Blumenfeld, Director, San 
 Francisco Department of the Environment. “Solar water heating can help 
 bring utility costs down while providing new green jobs, addressing climate 
 change and ensuring a secure, local independent energy supply.” For more
