Santa Barbara County is a special place, not only for the pure beauty of the natural and built environment, but also because of the community. People live here because they want to (we're not all millionaires, really!) and they truly care about Santa Barbara as a place and have a vested interest in keeping it beautiful and sustaining the famously high quality of life the region affords.

The community is active, involved and vocal.  Because there are so many do-gooders here, it's no surprise that Santa Barbara is home to more non profit organizations than any other city in the U.S.! And many of these organizations have an environmental focus. Santa Barbara is home to eco-conscious architects, designers, builders, artists, politicians and businesses. The earth-friendly citizenry shop, eat and play green.

Basically, it is easy being green in Santa Barbara. And we've compiled some green resources for you to make it even easier!
