Community Climate Initiatives
Community Climate Initiatives-Ecology Action builds an equitable climate future by promoting opportunities to make simple, everyday sustainable changes in how we live and work in our communities. Ecology Action powers programs that help advance climate resilience in communities by providing resources, hands-on tools, training, and perhaps most importantly - connection to others through the Resilient Central Coast program.Ecology Actions local active transportation programs have helped thousands of people make the switch to low-carbon transportation. Modo, our active transportation initiative, offers community-based planning, education and engagement to help all people safely adopt active transportation modes that reduce GHG emissions. Ecology Action acts as a catalyst on both sides of the electric vehicle equation. We help folks from all walks of life purchase an electric vehicle through our EVs For Everyone initiative and help property owners install charging station infrastructure at their buildings through our EV charging infrastructure work. All while prioritizing historically underserved communities. Ecology Action designs and executes public education programs to inspire Monterey Bay Area residents and businesses to make water conservation a way of life. This lessens water dependency on our rivers, reservoirs and groundwater wells and builds climate resilience in our communities against drought and a rapidly warming planet.Ecology Actions Ratio Institute works with food retailers to create store-level and enterprise sustainability solutions that reduce the industry's outsized climate impact.
