ABOUT US
Solana Center for Environmental Innovation is an award-winning environmental 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 1983. Located in Encinitas, we serve all of San Diego County. Our classes, workshops,
and events focus on soil, water, and waste, promoting upstream and preventative behaviors that are widely accessible. We make green living practical for individuals, businesses, schools, and local governments. Our organization believes in circular systems that support our vision: A world with landfills and oceans free of discarded resources. Small actions every day make a big impact. We are in the business of meeting each person wherever they are on their environmental journey.

Our Mission is to empower innovative solutions to climate change through education, community engagement, and research.
