The Cupertino Youth Climate Action Team has worked hard to successfully advocate the Cupertino City Council to add four proactive environmental solutions to their 2019 Council Work Program. Thanks to their efforts, Cupertino Council passed aggressive building electrification “reach codes” and a natural gas ban. The Council has also studied a single-use plastic ban and a stock and bond divestment from fossil fuel companies.

The Cupertino Youth Climate Action Team received the Cupertino CREST Award for “Sustainability Champion” in 2021. They also received a certificate from Congressman Ro Khanna.
