3 California Cities Leading in Sustainability
The Environmental Protection Agency was established in 1970 following the Santa Barbara Channel Oil Spill in 1969. After the April 22, 1970, gathering of more than 20 million people across the U.S., Senator Gaylord Nelson’s Earth Day was officially established. Since then, California has remained a trailblazer in sustainability, implementing efforts and initiatives across the state that continue to make it a leader in the country—and the world—in environmentalism and eco-friendly practices.
