Changes We’ve Made
Here at VCA Animal Care Center of Sonoma County, we are working hard to reduce our carbon and ecological footprint. We have implemented many actions, including changing to local, renewable electricity. We have also massively reduced our waste generation and usage, and we are transitioning away from single use disposable materials to renewable medical supplies. Long-term this will reduce emissions and pollution, improving the health of our team, our patients, local community, and environment. Watch for more information about the actions we have taken.
Partnering with Sonoma Clean Power
Our most impactful change to date is that we now obtain our electricity from EverGreen of Sonoma Clean Power, an ultra-low carbon, renewable, fossil-free, locally generated electricity source. Watch this video to learn more about our partnership with Sonoma Clean Power:
