Acterra's goal is to make it faster, easier, and cheaper for everyone to take action on reducing collective greenhouse gas emissions, thereby help slow the rate of global warming. We do this through our various programs. We support local cities to execute their climate action plans by conducting outreach to representative cross sections of our communities. We convene conversations, provide education, and give residents the essential tools to lower their personal carbon footprint. - Pete

Why We Love

Acterra: Action for a Healthy Planet

The problem of climate change is complex. It requires complex solutions. Acterra is one of those ‘do-it-all’ organizations with programs that span across home electrification, clean mobility, a re-imagined food system and education. They understand and work towards the systemic changes needed to catapult all of us forward into a healthy, thriving planet. People regularly ask me how they can get involved in the climate movement. I often recommend the resources at Acterra.
