Shrink your carbon footprint with Resilient Neighborhoods

We partner with Resilient Neighborhoods to educate and motivate our residents to lead a more sustainable lifestyle. Resilient Neighborhoods recruits and organizes households into Climate Action Teams and helps participants to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by at least 5,000 pounds. Teams meet five times over ten weeks to learn about strategies and resources available to improve home energy efficiency, shift to renewable energy, reduce transportation emissions, conserve water, reduce waste, and build resiliency.

In 2017, the Marin Climate & Energy Partnership was awarded a grant by the California Energy Commission to expand the Resilient Neighborhoods program. Grant funds were used to develop a marketing and outreach plan, update program materials, and recruit and train additional coaches. The project's objective was to educate and motivate 180 households to reduce their household emissions by 25%. The project ran from September 2017 to October 2019 and surpassed its targets, graduating 208 households with an average household reduction of 15,220 pounds CO2, or 35%. The project case study and links to project deliverables are available here.
