| About Us |
 California Greenworks, Inc. is a 501 c 3, non-profit corporation formed to promote environmental protection, community revitalization and economic development throughout southern California urban communities.
Our organization seeks to improve the quality of urban life through various programs and projects which advocate open space preservation in urban communities, restoration of waterways, and community beautification activities. Through collaborative efforts with community groups and other non-profit organizations, California Greenworks establishes partnerships that are fundamental to effective development and successful implementation of locally-driven community programs and projects.
The reason why we recognize Earth Day is to promote environmental awareness and to focus on ways our community can live more ecologically friendly. Traditionally, SouthLA Earth Day Festival features music, art, educational displays, kid's activities, and environmental forums which have an ecological focus.
We want to emphasize here in South LA, that we share this planet with all humanity, and that we must learn to work together for the greater good of our community, the global village and for future generations to come.
