Redwood CityRedwood City Goes Green - Redwood City Cool Campaign residents can work together to lower our community’s carbon emissions and take action to protect the climate. Each month we’ll challenge ourselves to reduce our home energy use. With each challenge will come encouragement, tips and ideas for taking care of our neighborhoods and our city. This Community Cool Campaign project is being done in collaboration with the Bay Area environmental non-profit, Acterra.

How to Get Started
  • Join the campaign. Contact Beth Ross at bross@redwoodcity.org. Learn more about the program and commit to make just ONE change during the campaign.
  • Be part of an email list comprised of Redwood City community members who have pledged to participate.
  • You’ll receive Monthly Challenges via email, as well as biweekly reminders.
  • Participate in our website created for online discussions, support, and information about each month’s Challenge. The site also includes community resources to support you in completing each Challenge.
  • The campaign ends with a community celebration at City Hall. This will be an opportunity to see the sum of our achievements, receive public recognition for our accomplishments, and consider other opportunities for climate protection work in the Redwood City community.
