BIG NEWS! 🚀 Climatize went live in the app store this morning!  Now anyone can download & sign up to make climate action easy & automatic.

We're excited to be hosting projects with GRID Alternatives & the San Benito Community Development Corporation (SBCDC).

With a donation to GRID Alternatives you can help families access no-cost solar energy. GRID has installed solar for 2,300 families and helped households save $47 million in energy costs. Your contribution creates good jobs and renewable energy for low-income communities. Help make solar accessible to all.

With SBCDC, we are helping low-income families build their homes through a mutual self-help housing program. Each family in a group of 12 puts in at least 40 hours per week for 1 year to build their neighborhood together. With your contribution, these 12 families will be able to lower their electricity bill & be more sustainable by going solar! 

“It is a great feeling, when they are done, to see them turn the keys to their own homes. You will see them break out & start crying after a full year of hard work,” - Felipe Sanchez, SBCDC Supervisor 

To the best team in the world, Alba Forns, Omi Chandiramani, Deirdre Patten& Ayo Banjo; thank you all for your tireless work & commitment to reaching this milestone. The best is yet to come.
