When I Am Green engages a community, we never come empty handed. It is important when creating authentic partnerships in community, you aren’t constantly extracting community data, talent, and genius leaving nothing sustainable behind in the form of education, connections, and access to real resources.
We mix eco-activism, engagement, and education with fun filled events that ALWAYS include a meal, an exchange of ideas, perspectives, and a hell of a lot of environmental education. Our community deserves a safe space to unwind as much as we deserve an education that will help us change the trajectory of our future for the better. From California to Georgia, if we can’t add value, we have no business taking up folks valuable time (.) |

I Am Green Go! Free EV Car Share has launched! California Clean Air Day this year with I Am Green was a whole vibe! We gathered to talk about the importance for Environmental Justice communities to be made aware of the environmental harms that cause toxic outcomes that lead to health issues, educational impairments, and oft-times, untimely death.
How do we make the change? We make the change…
The Community:
This community will now enjoy the wonders of driving an electric vehicle; they can use it to run errands, go to the doctors, the beach, or to visit family and friends. The best way to get the community in electric vehicles, is to get the community in electric vehicles (.)
