Ecology Action’s mission is to provide innovative solutions in the energy, water, and transportation sectors to all communities to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at scale. These sectors have the most significant opportunity for GHG emission reductions.
Ecology Action’s programs empower individuals, governments, businesses, and organizations to make positive changes by implementing solutions that create a healthier and more equitable clean energy future coupled with economic benefits for all.
Ecology Action’s community programs make sustainable living accessible for everyone through a wide range of climate friendly initiatives.
We teach kids to walk and bike safely, create community workshops, trainings, and events to celebrate sustainable action, help families access incentives for electric cars and bikes, and foster infrastructure that creates climate-smart, resilient communities.
On an annual basis, Ecology Action’s community programs serve more than 40,000 Santa Cruz County residents with tangible solutions essential for protecting the planet. We also partner closely with every city and multiple county departments to create livable streets with safe, accessible pedestrian and bike facilities, and help local jurisdictions compete successfully for millions in state and federal grants.
I was delighted to learn about the variety of climate programs that are making a real impact in our community. I can’t think of any organization that is making such a direct impact, and it feels wonderful to be involved and do my part.
