                                             While it is true that some climate
                                             change occurs naturally on its own,
                                             we as humans contribute heavily to polluting the
                                             environment. The average American has a carbon
                                             footprint of about 20 tons of carbon dioxide per
                                             year compared to the world average of less than five
                                             tons per person. As residents of this earth, we have
                                             a responsibility to preserve the environment, reduce
                                             our energy use and teach our children how they can
                                             reduce their carbon footprint.

Climate Change
     Impacts
     With 90 percent of Californians
     now concerned about the
     impacts of climate change,
     we know that education is vital.
     With a grant from Bank of
     America, we were able to
     fund a series of workshops
     and community-based events
     that helped participants learn
     how they can adopt greener
     behaviors and reduce their
     carbon footprint.

     CCSE programs saved 21,446
     metric tons of CO2 in 2008.
     This is the same as taking 3,917
     cars off the road for a year or the
     carbon sequestered annually
     by 788,733 trees. This is also
     equivalent to saving 60,610,357
                                                                         CCSE’s climate

                                Efficiency
                                Energy efficiency is essentially the
                                process of using less energy to
                                produce the same level of service.
                                At CCSE, we are committed to sharing unbiased,
                                independent knowledge and expertise with local
                                communities and residents to help them implement
                                energy efficiency solutions at home and at work.

California is the fifteenth largest emitter of greenhouse gases on the planet, according to the California Air Resources Board (ARB) Low Carbon Fuel Standard Report. The transportation sector is the largest contributor to California’s greenhouse gas emissions with 38 percent coming from fossil fuel-burning vehicles. Considering these statistics, it’s painfully obvious that our state needs to reduce its dependence on petroleum-based fuels in order to make a dramatic impact on our environment.
