Mission

Ecology Action is passionately driven to empower individuals, businesses, and communities to take actions today that achieve environmental and economic sustainability.

About

Energy Efficiency - Since 2004, Ecology Action has completed more than 16,000 energy efficiency projects which save over 581 million kilowatt hours of electricity equivalent to removing 92,589 passenger cars from the road (and their greenhouse gas emissions) for a year. We accomplish this by working with utility and government partners to meet their carbon and pollution reduction goals through designing and delivering cost-effective and comprehensive energy saving programs. We also offer direct assistance to schools, businesses and commercial facilities across the western United States to design energy efficiency and renewable energy projects that reduce carbon emissions and other pollution.
