The Green Living Tour is a bi-monthly, one-hour tour at Solana Center's home base in Encinitas that showcases sustainability in action. On the tour, our knowledgeable Eco Team docents walk you through our worm bins, greywater systems, innovative compost projects, tool lending library, water-wise garden, and more simple, DIY, climate-friendly solutions. Find inspiration for your at-home sustainability projects, learn more about Solana Center and our programs, and meet other eco-stewards in your neighborhood!
If you are interested in buying composting supplies or borrowing tools, our store and lending shed will be open. If you wish to make a purchase after the tour, we encourage you to buy your items online beforehand to ensure we will have the items in stock through here. We also encourage you to bring your e-waste to drop off!
Tour is free with a $15 suggested donation. For individuals and groups of 6 or less, please sign up here to reserve your spot. Space is limited. For groups of more than 6, email us to set up a private tour for a nominal fee.
Recommended for ages 12 and up. Funded in part by the City of Encinitas Community Grant Program.

Solana Center
Solana Center for Environmental Innovation is a San Diego-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that focuses on Zero Waste, composting, and water conservation. Our mission is to mobilize the local community through innovative outreach and provide consulting services to businesses and jurisdictions in order to address the region’s most pressing environmental issues and enact impactful change. With expertise in multiple areas of sustainability, as well as state, regional, and national policy, Solana Center’s programming and outreach provide innovative solutions to businesses and community members in the areas of Zero Waste, composting, water conservation, and more. Founded as Solana Recyclers in 1983, we are proud to have pioneered the first comprehensive curbside recycling program in San Diego – and one of the first such programs in the State of California. Together with our partners, we work creatively to promote the sustainable management of our natural resources and connect the community to real solutions. The San Diego region is constantly changing, and we change with it. In January 2016, Solana Center was awarded the state’s highest environmental honor, the California Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership Award for our food waste diversion programs. We are pleased to be in the esteemed company of previous awardees, such as Disney Resort, Stanford University, Raytheon, and the City of Santa Cruz. Each year Solana Center reaches tens of thousands of San Diego County residents through its environmental education and community programs.
