Sustainable Works is a non-profit environmental education organization. Our mission is to create a culture of sustainability. We offer programs that promote sustainable practices in businesses, colleges and residential communities. Our programs reduce environmental impacts and promote sustainable lifestyles- ones that enhance our resources, reduce harm to human health and the environment, and sustain and benefit the local economy and community- for the sake of current and future generations.

As a nonprofit organization we have socially responsible business practices, maintain environmentally friendly operating policies and have a proven track record of working with residents and businesses for over 6 years. We provide a full-service, professional, effective and hassle free experience to interested cities, colleges, and businesses.

Our programs focus on issues of waste production, water, chemicals, and energy consumption, transportation impacts, and community development. Each program fosters partnerships through collaboration and education.

Our center at 1744 Pearl Street, Santa Monica, CA

COMMUNITY GREENING

The Residential and Student Greening programs are 6-9 week workshops that assess individual impacts, educate on sustainability topics, and provide recommendations and resources for action.

BUSINESS GREENING

Our Business Greening Program is an ongoing consultation that includes an initial assessment, recommendations and resources for implementation, employee education and follow up.

Our programs bring the concepts of sustainability, as they relate to urban living, into the homes, businesses and lives of our participants. We offer tools to reduce their impact on the environment while promoting the development of local economies and healthy communities.

WATER PROGRAMS

In addition to our three core programs, Sustainable Works also has successfully developed and implemented water efficiency and urban runoff reduction programs.

These programs help cities reduce their water consumption, decrease urban runoff and assist in meeting citywide resource conservation goals and NPDES permit requirements.

Sustainable Works looks forward to working with you and to the opportunities that will arise from promoting sustainable practices in the urban environment.

Sustainable Works strives to implement the recommendations we provide to others. As a commitment to sustainability, our website is hosted from a solar powered site.
