Sustainability Interest Group

Grass Roots Circular Economy and Climate Action 

The Sustainability Interest Group at CalEPA is mostly CalEPA staff meeting via online Teams every other Tuesday to discuss sustainable practices such as home gardening,1 composting,2 and eco tips. A newsletter from CalRecycle@public.govdelivery.com will announce meetings by the end of the prior week.   

You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself
- Nelson Mandela

If all politics are local, then sustainability is ultimately up to you. 

Notes

1 Every pound of homegrown vegetables you grow can cut 2 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions when compared to the store-bought counterpart, although what you eat matters more (e.g., fruits, nuts, and vegetables) than how it’s transported. 

2. A single home compost bin diverts approximately 646 pounds of waste from landfill each year.
