Welcome to the East Bay Clean Cities Coalition website! Here you will find information, tools, and resources oriented towards reducing petroleum consumption and making our environment a better place in which to live and work.

This website is created and maintained entirely by volunteers. Well, actually just one volunteer does the website but the entire staff are volunteers. As you can see it is a work in progress. With no prior Internet training or skills, our future "webmaster" attended training provided by WEBSITECENTER.com. This site was entirely created during and right after taking a short website development training course. Although it is not the best website it is ours and we made it with our own two finger typing techniques! We're very pleased with the results and highly recommend WEBSITECENTER.com to anyone looking to start their own website or desiring training on website development and related courses such as search engine optimization. The WEBSITECENTER.com will also design and build your website for you and they offer full service website development and hosting. Please be sure to contact WEBSITECENTER.com for all of your website needs!
