PANDO POPULUS
Maybe it's possible to transform every school in LA County into a catalyst for the next generation of climate leaders
What if educational institutions became the backbone of a social movement that rallies young people to build regenerative communities?
Pando Populus is the non-profit behind 100+ sustainability projects and 40+ K-12 and university partnerships across LA County
We work with K-12, higher education, professional groups, and faith communities to build widespread adoption of LA County’s ambitious sustainability plan.
