At times when the world feels unsettled, the Community Environmental Council is the place where you can turn for hope, empowerment, and tangible action. That’s what we’ve been doing for 50 years, and we’re good at it.
But building strong heart-centered, climate-resilient, environmentally-sound communities isn’t easy. It takes grit and—for real—we need your support.
Please make a contribution today so we can keep making progress on climate change, no matter what.
Some of the ways we are advancing rapid and equitable solutions to the climate crisis on California’s Central Coast:
• Training the next generation of climate leaders through our Climate Stewards certification program, adding to the 200-strong alumni who are pushing forward thousands of solutions one neighborhood at a time.
• Quickly transitioning to renewable energy and clean vehicles by leveraging green tech incentives.
• Empowering ranchers and farmers to implement climate-smart practices that protect their lands, save water, and repair soils.
• Gathering and inspiring each other through regular film screenings, lectures, and other free public events at our downtown Santa Barbara community Hub.
• Embracing a big-tent approach, building on our robust web of networks, alliances, and unlikely partnerships so we can reach every corner of Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties.
• Building collective power to ensure everyone is safe from the chaos exacerbated by extreme heat, wildfires, floods, historic storms, and other climate events.
