The Sustainable Systems Research Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit green think tank and eco-project incubator for the Monterey Bay Area and Central Coast of California.SSRF seeks to create a sustainable Central California Coast through local, participatory community development of sustainable systems and practices.SSRF develops active collaborations with organizations, public agencies, funders, donors and small private companies that share our interests and goals.Our philosophy is that the best form of activism is that which benefits the community, is reproducible, scalable and easily adopted and adapted to other places.Our projects and programs go beyond vision to actual deployment–to function as models that can be replicated in other cities in California, the United States and the World.
