The Ecology Center is actively working to create and promote an alternative food system that is based on the values of environmental protection, justice, and access to healthy, sustainably produced food for all.

The Ecology Center advances zero waste systems through mission-driven recycling, community education, and policy advocacy, reducing waste at the source, improving material recovery, and driving systemic change toward a circular economy.

The Ecology Center helps communities prevent and prepare for climate impacts, bringing people together to build resilient cities while advancing policies that reduce emissions, hold systems accountable, and drive lasting, equitable change.

The Youth Development program engages young people in environmental justice through hands-on learning, leadership development, and paid work experiences, preparing the next generation to build a more sustainable, equitable future.

The Ecology Center helps people make healthy choices for themselves, their communities, and the environment by providing trusted information, education, tools, and products that support sustainable living. Our work advances zero waste, non-toxic systems, responsible resource use, and a safe, stable climate.
