Hello!
Welcome to Santa Barbara, California, a natural paradise and our hometown. With the Pacific Ocean on one side and the majestic Santa Ynez mountains on the other, we do our best to enjoy it, jobs notwithstanding. And to keep enjoying Santa Barbara means taking care of it. So it’s a good thing we locals have a tradition of preserving the natural elements that make this place so special.
Simple Shoes teamed up with the Santa Barbara Conference & Visitors Bureau and Film Commission to create GreenSantaBarbara.com so visitors (and locals) can learn more about the greener side of Santa Barbara. Check it out. From protecting the planet’s natural systems and improving the health and well-being of the community, you’ll see how Santa Barbara is well on its way to becoming a global model for sustainable living. Keeping the planet and environment healthy requires effort from all of us.
We invite visitors to explore Santa Barbara Car Free, learn about sustainable winemaking, experience the "Galapagos of the Northern Hemisphere" ...and so much more!
Interested in planning a green meeting or event here? Santa Barbara definitely delivers what corporations and planners need today—meetings with substance, social responsibility and style. Environmental protection and social consciousness are deeply ingrained in our community’s identity, and what better way to experience the real Santa Barbara than actually becoming a part of what makes us tick! For more information on planning meetings that address corporate social responsibility, contact the SBCVB&FC's Sales Department at sales@santabarbaraCA.com. They'll hook you up with great resources and ideas!
Keep it green, and enjoy!
Your friends at Simple Shoes and the SBCVB&FC
