Vision

Ramona to become a leading community in the change to land-and-people-friendly climate  with growing economy and its own micro-grid with power that the community uses and sells.

Mission 

Lead the transition to a sustainable climate in Ramona with a growing economy via education, connections, projects, promotions, advocacy, and ultimately a profitable, independent electricity-producing area (micro-grid).

Goals

  • Advance knowledge through education to address future job needs, home owner opportunities, growing business markets, agricultural changes, water requirements, etc.
  • Reach out to other community, County, and State groups to connect and maximize ongoing activities.
  • Create projects that will advance our goals, such as, community gardens, tree-planting, composting “drives.”
  • Promote successful projects already underway within Ramona.
  • Advocate and work toward a long-term goal of making Ramona a profitable, independent electricity-producing area, given its proximity to sun and wind and availability of land.

Objectives

  • Plan and promote local Ramona activities that support sustainability through Earth Day 2021 event
  • Create a community garden by end of 2022
  • Offer presentations monthly for each of the key areas: renewable energy, transportation, electrification of buildings, weather explanation, firesafe, water usage, waste management
  • Explore and highlight business and career opportunities to climate change technologies e.g., electric cars need a new kind of mechanic; all-electric houses will need backups.
