Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Environment, Environmental Education
Mission: Our mission is to advance equitable community climate solutions in high-greenhouse gas emitting sectors. To achieve this we empower people, businesses and communities make simple, yet profound changes that have measurable social, economic, and environmental impact through innovative energy, water, and transportation solutions.
Programs: Energy efficiency - since 2004, ecology action has completed more than 16,000 energy efficiency projects which save over 581 million kilowatt hours of electricity equivalent to removing 92,589 passenger cars from the road (and their greenhouse gas emissions) for a year. We accomplish this working with utility and government partners to meet their carbon and pollution reduction goals through designing and delivering cost-effective and comprehensive energy saving programs. We also offer direct assistance to schools, businesses and commercial facilities across the western united states to design energy efficiency and renewable energy projects that reduce carbon emissions and other pollution.
green communities - ecology action believes in thriving people and planet. We work with communities to promote active transportation, youth bike safety, and water conservation programs that make our communities healthier across northern california. We create programs for residents, professionals and businesses that teach new skills and empower and incentivize individual to resource conservation. Ecology action implements programs to help governments and business meet their climate action and environmental sustainability goals. Our programs are designed to encourage local commuters, families and youth to reduce single occupancy vehicle trips by safely walking, bicycling and using other sustainable transportation. Our multi-faced approach addresses key aspects of the transportation sector including electric vehicle promotion and infrastructure, transportation planning, youth safety education and encouragement programs to raise awareness, reduce carbon by less car trips and promote safe bicycling. Additionally, we collaborate with local jurisdictions and agencies to implement the latest technologies and design comprehensive behavior change solutions that have made the monterey bay a leather in tackling california's water and waste challenges.
