History
Sustainable San Mateo County (SSMC) was established in 1992 by a group of San Mateo County citizens who sought to create a broader awareness of the sustainability concept.

In 2002, SSMC became an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit public benefit corporation dedicated to educating the community about sustainability.
