And the 2022 Environmental Hero Awards go to...

Kenny Loggins, Singer/Songwriter and CEC’s UC Climate Stewards Graduates!

This annual award recognizes community leaders for their outstanding service to the environment.

Kenny Loggins is a deeply committed environmentalist with a long history of advocating for the planet. He has been outspoken on the importance of taking care of the earth and combating climate change for decades. Kenny regularly lends his musical talent to support projects focused on environmental activism, education, and outreach.

The more than 40 certified Stewards to date are being honored this year for their shared commitment to engage in transformative local solutions to promote community and ecosystem resilience in a changing climate. In 2021, CEC became the only Central Coast nonprofit to offer a UC Climate Stewards course. The 40-hour certification course includes climate curriculum and discussion, field trips, and a Capstone project, giving participants a deeper understanding of the psychology and science behind climate change while providing skills necessary for climate action. For more information about CEC’s UC Climate Stewards Program, visit climatestewards.cecsb.org.

The awards ceremony will feature a video acceptance speech from Kenny Loggins and live appearances from several UC Climate Stewards alumni.

Enjoy all of the Earth Day activities on April 23 at the Arlington Theatre and celebrate these climate heroes with us from 2:30 - 3:00 p.m.
