Dedicated to the long-term health of our county's
economy, environment and social equity
by educating about sustainability
The 2013 Indicators Report launches on May 21, 2013! Join us for a luncheon at the Sobrato Center in Redwood Shores including a panel of experts on our 2013 Key Indicator: Income Inequality.
This is the seventeenth annual report, making it one of the longest-running publications of its kind in the US and a model for national and international communities that seek to create their own local reports.
14th Annual Sustainability and Green Building Awards
Since 1999, SSMC has presented the premiere sustainability event in our region that heightens community awareness about sustainability by recognizing San Mateo County businesses, community groups, and individuals that have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to bringing sustainable practices to their work.
In a healthy community, you have the choice of affordably living near your work; with shops, parks, schools, and locally-grown food accessible by foot, bicycle, or public transit. Started in 2011, each Healthy Communities Forum targets decision makers, community leaders, labor, developers, affordable housing advocates, business leaders, and environmentalists to come together and explore the various facets of the health of our cities.
SSMC is very active on Facebook and Twitter.
