Creating regional
solutions to climate change
“The depth of CEC’s workon climate is unparalleled
in our community, and has earned it a notable reputation
for on-the-ground action.”FORMER U.S. REPRESENTATIVE
LOIS CAPPS
3
The recent years have brought incredible challenges to our community.
The amplifying effects of climate change struck home as excessive heat, fire, rain, and
debris flow shaped a new normal. At the same time, environmental threats increased with
Federal rollbacks of EPA funding and standards, and with attempts to reopen California
public lands and waters to oil leasing.
Nevertheless, in 2018 our community rallied to support those in need, knitting a tighter
social fabric than perhaps we’ve ever had. CEC led the way in calling for immediate,
urgent action on climate change and building a future that is more resilient to its impacts.
This includes ensuring that those who are most impacted by the fossil fuel industry—often
people of color and low income communities—are at the center of the response.
Our public action campaigns continue to provide tangible ways for people to “think
globally, act locally,” by drawing down carbon, creating secure food systems, shifting to
clean transportation, reducing waste, and moving toward 100% renewable energy.
CEC’s efforts are more critical than ever. We remain committed to pursuing positive
solutions that ensure future generations inherit a livable world.
Our thanks to you for continuing to make this work possible.

RESULTS We secured a City of Santa Barbara ban on plastic
straws and stirrers, the first of its kind in the
region. This law goes into effect on July 1, 2019.
We also secured a Santa Barbara ban on Styrofoam
(expanded polystyrene) take-out food containers
and a more far-reaching law in Carpinteria.
SKIP THE STRAW In 2018, we urged local
governments to reduce
distribution of plastic straws,
stirrers, cutlery and other small,
single-use items.
FOAM FREE We also urged local cities and
counties to ban polystyrene
foam (Styrofoam) food
containers.
Ditch Plastic.

90refill
stationsin Santa Barbara &
Ventura county schools
RESULTS We added 12 water bottle refill stations
to schools throughout the Central Coast,
bringing the program total to 90 stations.
They have provided 4 million+ refills in
Santa Barbara County schools, with over
20,000 students who have learned about
the importance of plastic reduction.
5
RETHINK THE DRINK We provided hydration stations
and spoke at school assemblies
about how students and staff
can ditch single-use plastic
water bottles and reduce other
plastic waste.

RESULTSThe Ellwood gas-fired power plant closed on
January 1, 2019. CEC is now advocating for
cleaner alternatives — renewable energy and
energy storage — instead of carbon fuel.
Ventura County and the Cities of Ojai, Oxnard,
Ventura, and Thousand Oaks committed to
a 100% renewable energy default choice for
customers of their Community Choice program,
Clean Power Alliance. Ventura is the first
county in the U.S. to commit to this goal.
CLEAN ENERGY 805 In 2018, we worked to influence
policy makers to reject natural
gas peaker plants and build
renewable energy, storage,
and other distributed energy
resources in Santa Barbara and
Ventura Counties, providing
healthier energy alternatives to
neighborhoods most impacted
by fossil fuels.
Go Solar.
7
RESULTSWe worked with the Cities of Goleta and Santa Barbara to
implement their goal of going 100% renewable by 2030.
READY FOR 100 We urged local governments to
set goals for 100% renewable
electricity in advance of
California’s 2045 target.
8
736 households installedrooftop solar (as of 2018)
Go Solar.
SOLARIZE In 2018, we provided more
affordable home solar through
a group purchasing model that
offers a streamlined, hassle-free
process.
SOLARIZE NONPROFITWe provided no-cost solar
panels to nonprofits to lower
their energy bills and footprint,
allowing them to invest more
into serving the community.
9
KWH COUNTDOWNWe provided businesses with
free energy auditing and
benchmarking services so they
can invest in energy efficiency
projects that lower their bills
and footprint.
7 energy audits in Ventura County
RESULTSWe helped 79 homes in Santa Barbara add rooftop solar,
bringing the program’s lifetime total to 736 homes. Participating
homeowners saved an average of 85% on monthly utility bills.
Girls Inc of Carpinteria, the Boys and Girls Club of Santa Maria,
SBBike, and several other organizations went solar at no cost,
saving them hundreds of thousands of dollars in energy bills.
10
Rethink Food.
HEALTHY SOILS In 2018, we worked to increase
the use of carbon farming by
demonstrating clear economic
and environmental benefits of
regenerative agriculture.
RESULTSOur hands-on education events helped
130 ranchers and policymakers learn
the powerful benefits of increasing
carbon levels in soil while reducing
excess carbon in the atmosphere.
11
RESULTSOur Food Action team helped 565 individuals
and 43 community groups support the
development of a healthy, vibrant and
resilient food system through projects that
directly impact thousands of residents.
We also prevented over 5 tons of high-
quality prepared food from going to the
landfill, instead feeding those in need.
11
FOOD ACTION PLAN We worked to create a resilient,
sustainable, healthy and equitable
food system for all residents of
Santa Barbara County.
FOOD RESCUE NETWORK We connected partners to divert
restaurant-quality, prepared food
from the landfill to reach those
who are food-insecure in Santa
Barbara County.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE COMMUNITIES In 2018, we sought to rapidly
transition the Central Coast to
electric vehicles, with a particular
emphasis on low-income drivers
and disadvantaged communities.
GO ELECTRIC BUSES & FLEETSWe urged transit districts and
government fleets to go
100% electric.
RESULTSCEC built a coalition of more than 23 organizations to develop an EV Ready Blueprint for
Ventura County, particularly geared toward lower income and disadvantaged communities.
The effort aims to be a replicable model for statewide transportation electrification.
We also successfully advocated for Santa Barbara MTD to commit to 100% zero emissions
for its 112 bus fleet by 2030 , well ahead of California targets.

GREEN CAR SHOWSWe encouraged a transition to
clean-fuel vehicles by
educating consumers on
the benefits of electric cars.
2018 GREEN CAR SHOWS
City of Oxnard
City of Santa Barbara
City of Ventura
RESULTSCEC hosted 3 electric vehicle showcases in 2018,
giving 268 test drives and engaging with over
23,000 people. This type of work has led our
region to have more than 12,000 plug-in electric
vehicles on the road with 360 charging stations.
14
Drive Less.
DRIVE LESS CITIES In 2018, we urged local
governments to develop policies
and targets in their Bicycle
Master Plans and other planning
tools to measurably increase
biking and walking.
RESULTSThe Goleta Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan set
strong targets to more than double the amount of
biking and walking in the Goodland by 2030.
15
Act on Climate.
RESULTSCEC made pro-environment comments on 54 policy items to local
and state governments in 2018. Issues ranged from protecting a
community’s right to choose its own energy sources, to helping
ranchers and farmers adapt to climate change.
CLIMATE JUSTICE NETWORKIn 2018, CEC and CAUSE
launched a network of social
justice and environmental
organizations committed
to a climate movement that
advances social, economic,
and environmental justice for
Ventura and Santa Barbara
counties.
CLIMATE RESILIENCEIn the aftermath of the Thomas
Fire and Montecito Debris Flow,
CEC co-organized public town
halls and private roundtables
to relate the link between
climate change and the increase
in extreme weather-related
disasters, reaching more
than 1,500 first- and second-
responders, community leaders,
elected officials and agency
professionals.
16
RESULTSOur annual festival attracted 37,000+ attendees
and 200+ exhibitors for two days of music,
sustainable food, and eco-friendly education.
CEC’S SANTA BARBARA EARTH DAY FESTIVALCEC’s Santa Barbara Earth
Day Festival is the region’s
largest effort to educate the
community on environmental
issues with a Green Car Show,
sustainable food court, and eco-
friendly alternatives for day-
to-day home, health, and living
needs.
ADDITIONALCOMMUNITY OUTREACHIn 2018, CEC hosted or
sponsored 81 lectures, films,
educational gatherings and
other public events on topics
ranging from electric vehicle
readiness to climate resilience.
