Sustainable Works

Sustainable Works' Student Program is an extra-credit opportunity that compliments SMC's environmental curriculum. For nine weeks peer-led groups help SMC students reflect on the environmental impact of their daily lives. A combination of discussion, recommendations, field trips and community service motivates positive change. Sustainable Works also runs similar programs for Santa Monica businesses and residents.
