Environment California approaches are to move us toward a cleaner, greener California in a particular way. But they share a common approach. Each campaign strives to:

Put the environment first. A clean environment is not a by-product of American prosperity. Rather, a clean environment is the necessary precondition for true prosperity. Through our research and public education, they’re working to shift more hearts and minds over to this point of view.

Take a strategic approach. They must think big and act boldly, but progress comes one step at a time. They don’t make broad statements; instead, they work to protect our treasured landscape and make a difference in the lives of people here in California by building support for specific shifts in public policy.

Build on what works. They’ve won policies that have resulted in landmark growth in solar and wind power as well as cleaner air, together with our national network they have reduced global warming pollution in 25 states including California, and they have made cuts in single-use plastics. They know which policies work, how they can be improved, and what it takes to win their approval. And they’re open to new ideas that could work even better.

Work together. They endeavor to unite people from all across the political spectrum, whether they are farmers who benefit from wind turbines on their land, homeowners who want to store and share the solar energy generated on their rooftops or restaurant owners who are finding alternatives to foam containers and straws to reduce single-use plastics.

The goal of “Save the Bees” program is to plant more pollinator-friendly plants, thus protecting safe havens for bees and reducing our reliance on pesticides.
