Ecology Action’s mission is to provide innovative energy, water, and transportation solutions 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.
The Resilient Santa Cruz County campaign provides an all-in-one online climate action platform for community groups and residents. It provides leadership training to prepare locals for climate change impacts and to encourage household climate actions that foster more resilient and connected communities.
This project meets the community’s needs by providing locally specific resources and incentives for 120 climate learning topics and actions so homeowners and renters can easily reduce emissions, save money, and prepare for climate change impacts. Nearly 40% of US GHG emissions come from five basic daily household sources: electricity, home heating, transportation, food choices, and our waste stream.
This online resource also supports school clubs, neighborhood groups, faith communities, and co-worker teams to make small changes that together add up to big collective impact.
There is no single source of information other than Ecology Action’s Resilient Santa Cruz County that provides the wealth of climate actions my family and I can take to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, save money, and actively participate in climate action.
