What We Do

CEC’s mission is to identify, advocate and raise awareness about the most pressing environmental issues that affect the Santa Barbara region. We are currently focused on building a community-based movement that weans the region off of fossil fuels in one generation: Fossil Free by ’33.

To reach that aggressive goal, we influence government policies, get new technology built or adopted in our region, and provide resources to those who want to make changes in their own lives. All CEC initiatives support our vision for Santa Barbara:

Our homes and offices create as much energy as they use.

Our cars are efficient and powered by clean energy.

Our electricity is generated by the sun, wind and waves.

Our communities center around people, not cars.

We choose eco smart products that reduce our carbon footprint.
