The mission of Acterra is to bring people together to create local solutions for a healthy planet. Acterra provides adults and youth in the Silicon Valley of California with tangible, hands-on activities they can do to improve the environment. Acterra’s work is solution-oriented. Because people get excited by different things, Acterra offers a broad range of programs with a wide range of impacts, from reduction of greenhouse gasses, to restoration of native habitats, to environmental leadership training and more. Funding from Climate Ride will provide thousands of Silicon Valley residents with the support and opportunities they need to live sustainably, become environmental leaders, combat global warming and create and restore local habitats.
