Flex Your Power
Flex Your Power is California’s statewide energy efficiency marketing and outreach campaign. Initiated in 2001, it is a partnership of California’s utilities, residents, businesses, institutions, government agencies and nonprofit organizations working to save energy.
Flex Your Power provides tips for all Californians to better conserve energy, whether you’re at home, at work or in the classroom.

Save Our Water
Save Our Water is a program aimed at helping Californians reduce their everyday water use. Created in 2009 by the California Department of Water Resources and the Association of California Water Agencies, it offers ideas and inspiration for permanently reducing water use – regardless of whether California is in a drought.
Save Our Water lets you calculate your daily water use at home, and provides a water conservation pledge with tips on how to save thousands of gallons a month.

California Coastal Cleanup Day
California Coastal Cleanup Day is a statewide annual shoreline cleanup in which all Californians can volunteer to clean up trash and recyclables from California’s beaches, lakes and waterways.
California Coastal Cleanup Day offers over 800 sites where you can volunteer. It is held on the same day as International Coastal Cleanup, typically in mid-September.
If you’d like to do more to keep local beaches clean, you can participate in the Adopt-A-Beach program. This program has groups commit to cleaning up a local beach at least three times per year. Call (800) COAST-4U to learn more.
