One Cool Earth's (OCE) story is about people--it took over 5000 of us to get to where we are today: volunteers in the early days planting trees in the open spaces around San Luis Obispo county, enthusiastic teachers and parents getting their schools involved in growing gardens, food service directors who saw the benefits of nutrition education, our donors: individuals, family foundations, government grantors and local businesses who have provided generously for our every need for the last 16 years.
