    Travel to Greentools 2008    
   

Onward to the capital! This year Greentools moves to California's capital city of Sacramento, home of the some of the most revolutionary environmental policies of the last decade. Like last year's conference in Northern California, attendees should find the weather mild, but the conference stimulating. Sacramento has an airport quite close to the city, and is also within 100 miles of San Francisco and Oakland Airports.

For information on traveling to Sacramento, visit the Sacramento Visitors' Bureau here.
