“The Resilient SLO founders truly make this program extraordinary! Resilient SLO inspired me to take on the challenge. By committing to five basic actions, I was able to reduce my household carbon footprint by more than 20% and save $2,000 annually! I am so much more connected to my neighbors, and I am blessed to be part of this community.”
