The Ecology Center (EC) promotes
environmentally and socially
responsible practices through
programs that educate, demonstrate,
and provide direct services. The EC
operates one of the oldest on-going
recycling programs in the country;
maintains a regional resource center
and store; operates the Berkeley
Farmers' Markets (primarily organic);
publishes the quarterly
environmental, Terrain magazine;
and sponsors the Bay Area Coalition
for Headwaters Forest, the Berkeley
Community Gardening Collaborative,
and the Food Security Project of West
& South Berkeley. Our programs
share a common purpose of
educating the public about
environmental problems and
injustices, empowering individuals
and groups to work for change, and
modeling sustainable alternatives to
systems which threaten ecosystems
and their human and other
inhabitants.
