Sustainable Seaside

Sustainable Seaside is a group of concerned local citizens working locally towards solutions to environmental challenges.
Our Mission: To make the City of Seaside and adjacent areas a model of sustainability through innovative local actions which work to enhance our community.
"Sustainability" means “meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.” (UN Conference, 1987). Our actions are based on two documents: the US Mayors’ Agreement and the Urban Environmental Accords.
***************************************************************************************************
Sustainable Seaside is currently focused on the following five areas:
1. Water: Providing education on water catchment, conservation, and issues concerning the protection of local water sources and Monterey Bay.
2. Nature: Protecting and expanding walking/hiking/biking trails. Planting more trees in city parks and in public places. Promoting home gardening and the creation of sustainable community gardens.
3. Parks: Partnering with neighborhoods and the City to revitalize and maintain our parks.
4. Energy: Advocating low-energy lighting and renewable energy for homes, businesses and city buildings.
5. Recycling: Encouraging “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” programs such as reusable shopping bags, composting, and reduction of single-use plastics.
Monthly meetings held on the third Tuesday of the month at 6:30 pm at the Peace Resource Center, 1364 Fremont Blvd, Seaside. See our Google Group page for current and future events.
