Bronze Level Sustainer

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District

Since 1955, the Air District has worked to improve air quality. The California Legislature created the Air District in 1955 as the first regional air pollution control agency in the country, recognizing that air emissions overflow political boundaries. The nine counties of the San Francisco Bay Area form a regional air basin, sharing common geographical features and weather patterns, and therefore similar air pollution burdens, which cannot be addressed by counties acting on their own.

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is the public agency entrusted with regulating stationary sources of air pollution in the nine counties that surround San Francisco Bay: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, southwestern Solano, and southern Sonoma counties.

Bronze Level Sustainer

The Giant Steps Foundation works with those it supports to help minimize their impact on our fragile earth. By offering greening grants for special events, the foundation helps organizations offer their members and constituents organic menus, including organic meat, poultry, and dairy products that are not only healthier but more humane. Additionally, greening grants enable the use of recycled paper and plant-based inks as well as the purchase of carbon-offsets to help achieve a climate-neutral event.

Carbon Offset Sponsor

ClearSky Climate Solutions is proud to sponsor the carbon offsets of all of Climate Ride: the operations, offices, and events. While we know carbon offsets aren't license to emit at will, purchasing them is a way to support projects that reduce carbon emissions, and raise awareness that you can't reduce what you don't measure.
