Environment, Land Use, and Sustainability
Acterra, a Palo Alto-based non-profit organization dedicated to bringing people together to create local solutions for a healthy planet, offers a free education program that teaches students not only the science of climate change, but also how they can engage in sustainable solutions themselves within their local and regional community. Championed by Supervisor Simitian, the Board approved a grant enabling Acterra to expand its “You(th) Be the Change” program. The County grant funding will allow Acterra to train educators on the curriculum, provide supplies, and scale-up to serve new schools.
