Communities for Sustainable Monterey County

CSMC is an all-volunteer nonprofit dedicated to helping our Monterey County communities transition to sustainable and regenerative use of energy and resources.

Through local action groups throughout Monterey County, our volunteers implement climate action initiatives and programs that have been prioritized at the community level as having the greatest impact on addressing the climate crisis in regenerative, sustainable, and socially just ways. These efforts include education outreach, advocacy and projects that effect plastic pollution reduction, watershed protection, solar power and electrification in housing and transportation, local food gardens and pollinator habitats, and land use that reduces car use, and increases affordable housing and access to non-motorized commuting and recreation.
