Carbon Footprint Calculator

Harness The Power Of Community Choice Energy

Ensure that the electricity YOU purchase is generated without fossil fuels by switching to Community Choice Energy, one of the most powerful ways to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy sources in the electricity sector.

CCEs are local, not-for-profit, public agencies that provide electricity service—and much more—to residents and businesses. Given that they are local, with decision-making meetings open to the public, CCEs enhance energy democracy by including the communities they serve in decision-making and by generally being more accessible and accountable to the local community.

You don’t have to wait to take climate action! Click below for a list of simple steps you can do today that can make a difference according to the California Climate Action Corps.

Cleaner California Transportation

Transportation accounts for 50% of California’s greenhouse gas emissions. Electric Vehicles enable us to eliminate fossil fuels in the transportation sector when the electricity is generated with renewables.

Learn more about programs available to consumers interested in exploring clean transportation technology and clean vehicle purchasing. Many of these opportunities offer benefits to lower-income consumers that live in disadvantaged communities.

Stay On Top Of Important California Legislation

The Climate Center has launched a campaign in California for bold and swift solutions to the climate crisis to catalyze similar efforts in other states, the nation and the world. This means removing more carbon than we emit by 2030 and building resilient communities.
