Did you know?

LINKING surplus with needs diverts useful items and materials from the waste stream, plus creates jobs in logistics & repairs.

You shampoo because HAIR collects oil.  Help us gather clippings from salons and pet groomers. We felt fibers into mats that soak up oil spills.

COMPOSTING grazed rangelands boosts photosynthesis, pulling more carbon out of the air and returning it back into the soil.

Our Programs

We have 7 departments:

(1) Hair Matters is our global project where we felt waste fibers into mats that soak up petrochemicals and help with soil remediation.

(2) The Hum Sum – for Humanity Adding Solutions our environmental social media platform, where everyone can share ecological posts and research.

(3) Eco-Home and urban edible garden with planet-friendly, immersive tours and field trips.

(4) Eco-Industrial Hubs (Eco-Hub & Eco-Depot) our working model factories and exhibit hall in the SoMa district of San Francisco.

(5) Eco-Academy – Our Youth and Eco-Education Program includes internships, apprenticeships and green careers for all ages.

(6) The WALOP – Worthy Actionable List of Projects through 2050 – researching, organizing and implementing solutions that nurture healthy air, soil, water, energy and life.

We are also the proud fiscal sponsors for programs including: a) Sonoma Food Runners, b) Heart of the City Farmers’ Market Food Security Education Project, and more.

(7) Administration – We open-source all of our back-end processes because we believe that public charities should have transparent, replicable systems that help each other collaborate to save funds and time.
