Green monument

 Thousands of daily visitors will be drawn across the Bay to this site creating a continuous stream of economic activity that will also have an impact on the environment.  The increased demand for tourist access to Treasure Island will support a more robust ferry service for the Bay and help reduce auto traffic to and from Treasure Island and San Francisco.


The Statue of Unity Monument will use green building technology to:

 

  • Treat and evaporate waste water using the redwoods.

 

  • Heat and cool the statue by regulating sunlight entering the interior.


  • Generate solar electricity.
