Our Gas Free Gardens campaign seeks to transition yard care away from the use of polluting and toxic gas-powered gardening equipment and encourage the use of electric equipment or, even better, manual tools like rakes. Our next campaign, Healthy Gardens (coming soon) will tackle the use of rodenticides and pesticides in gardens, offering the community safe and ecologically friendly alternatives.

Our team of passionate activists embraces a plant-based and vegan lifestyle. Our Veg Fest campaign has focused on bringing delicious vegan food to the Palisades in a series of Veg Fest food truck events. We conduct outreach to help Palisadians embrace and enjoy delicious plant-based alternatives to animal products. We help Palisadians reduce our environmental impact while promoting cruelty-free eating practices and personal health.

Seeking to dramatically increase local solar electricity generation in the Palisades, reduce emissions, save money, and increase energy resilience for our community. Our plan for achieving this is called the Pali Microgrid. The Pali Microgrid will reduce load on the grid and increase resilience by islanding in the event of brownouts and blackouts.

Palisadians now live in a more arid climate with less water available for our homes and gardens. But we can still live in beautiful surroundings. The Water Sages team aims to help our community conserve water, expand water reuse and rainwater capture, and move toward native plants which are drought tolerant, fire resistant, and enhance our local ecosystems.

Through dedicated management efforts and evidence-based removal techniques, we work to reverse the damage caused by non-native invasive plants and help native ecosystems thrive once again. We believe environmental restoration is vital to reducing fire vulnerability, reversing biodiversity loss, and conserving water resources.

Resilient Palisades began as one group of neighbors with a common goal; To combat climate change from within the Pacific Palisades community. It did not take long before we realized that we needed to break into teams to maximize our efficiency and our teams continue to grow and expand. If you want to be a part of Resilient Palisades and create your own team (or perhaps you'd like to have one of our t-shirts), you just need to "Do Something."
