Cool Blocks LA uses a neighborto-neighbor model to help people make their neighborhoods safer, healthier and lighten their environmental impact. Cool Blocks LA is a five-month, nine-meeting, action-based program that is self-directed by a team of five to eight households per block. A meeting is hosted by a different team member in person (or via Zoom) every two weeks with the support of a step-by-step guide. Each meeting focuses on a distinct topic connected to reducing your block’s carbon footprint, adopting water stewardship practices, preparing for disasters and improving the quality of life in your neighborhood.
