WE DID IT! OUR 2021 RESULTS
In a year where wildfires have affected the lives of so many and where an environmental disaster off the coast of Huntington Beach reminded us of the consequences of our reliance on oil, we’re thrilled to see Californians come together to take action to protect public health, improve air quality and prevent climate change.
