DescriptionECO2school (formerly Cool Schools): We added a new web component to our successful service learning program in high schools which helps students reduce their carbon footprint associated with their commute to school. Now students can log their walking and biking trips to school during our Commute Challenge, see how they are doing compared to other schools, and see how many calories that they have burned and greenhouse gas emissions that they have reduced. We will run the challenge in seven schools in the coming year and are planning to expand the program into other parts of the Bay Area.Description

Form 990, Part III, Line 4dForm 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Sonoma Clean Power is the most important project of our Renewable Energy program. It is a public-private partnership where the existing investor-owned utility maintains transmission lines, and Sonoma CleanPower sets electricity rates, procures power to meet the load including developing local renewable energy. This approach promises to provide tremendous advantages in addition to greenhouse gas emission reduction such as rate stability, stimulation of local the economy, a more resilient energy system, green job creation, and energy policy that can cause an explosion of renewable energy development. In 2012 the Campaign spearheaded a movement that culminated in the Sonoma County Board Supervisors creating the organization structure for Sonoma Clean Power. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: ECO2school (formerly Cool Schools): We added a new web component to our successful service learning program in high schools which helps students reduce their carbon footprint associated with their commute to school. Now students can log their walking and biking trips to school during our Commute Challenge, see how they are doing compared to other schools, and see how many calories that they have burned and greenhouse gas emissions that they have reduced. We will run the challenge in seven schools in the coming year and are planning to expand the program into other parts of the Bay Area. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Conserve and Capture - Solid Waste & Agriculture: CPC has continued to participate in a process to reduce organic waste going in to the county landfill. We continued to convene stakeholders to develop solutions for the solid waste system which was in the throes of being redesigned. We also conducted an organic waste diversion study with the city of Sebastopol funded through a California Supplemental Environmental Program grant. The results indicated that further study is needed to identify critical factors for diverting food scraps from waste being landfilled to waste going into the green bin to become compost.In 2012 CPC worked with local stakeholders in the agriculture and open space communities to research potential solutions that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We identified the highest leverage opportunity reducing emissions from livestock. Because we were unable to find a cost-effective way to impact emissions in this area, we suspended work in this sector for the present. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: Tracking Progress: As we have for the past five years, the Climate Protection Campaign produced a report card of Sonoma Countys greenhouse gas emissions. The report shows emissions by sector (transportation, electricity, natural gas, solid waste, and agriculture), the overall trend since 1990, and compares overall emissions to Sonoma Countys 25% GHG reduction target for 2015.
