Over 1,298,849 lbs. of CO2 Already Reduced!
JOIN a Resilient Neighborhoods' EcoTeam and help lose a million more…
It's free, it's fun, and it's easy.
Our affluent Bay Area lifestyles would require FIVE EARTHS to sustain if everybody lived like we do? 60% of local carbon pollution comes from our household decisions. It's our driving, our home energy loses, our use of water, and the waste stream from our purchasing choices. Resilient Neighborhood EcoTeams undertake carbon-reducing actions that make a difference.
IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT CARBON, EITHER.
The program shows how to build resilience by
Decreasing dependence on fossil fuels
Conserving resources Fortifying the local economy Supporting local agriculture
Planning ahead for emergencies

 HOW DOES IT WORK?
You and your EcoTeam meet 5 times, you calculate your carbon footprints, then choose from a menu of actions that reduce household CO2 emissions by at least 5,000 pounds per household. You'll learn about rebates available now for energy efficient home improvements. Even if you've already "done a lot," you'll discover many new earth-friendly strategies. Once complete, data from teams will be provided to local governments to show that residents are doing their part to help with climate change.
