What and Why Sustainability Week
Sustainability Day was created to remind and educate communities about the importance of caring for our environment. The Sustainability Week Coalition has brought together Walnut Creek organizations advocating for personal, environmental, and community health to build on that idea. They have worked to provide online presentations and events that give us ideas on steps we all can take to increase the sustainability of our lives and help to save the health of our planet. Click here.
"Climate action has been one of Walnut Creeks top priorities for years. Sustainability Week is a great way for the community to get involved in understanding and combating climate change"
Kevin Wilk, Mayor Walnut Creek
