About SDEF

Created in 1997, the San Diego Environmental Foundation educates the next generation about reducing environmental degradation. Our outreach and education program is the San Diego EcoCenter for Alternative Fuel Education. Through interactive, science-based exhibits, the EcoCenter has educated over 10,000 children in the San Diego area about alternative fuel, renewable energy, and energy independence.

The EcoCenter is the proud recipient of several prestigious education awards. These include: The County Board of Education "A+ Partner of the Year Award" for best educational program; the Air Pollution Control District's "Clean Air Award" for fostering environmental appreciation among today's youth; and the San Diego Science Alliance "Business of the Year Award" for advancing K-12 science, technology, engineering, and math literacy.
