Monterey Green Action (MGA) is a community volunteer organization undertaking projects to help Monterey become more self-reliant and sustainable. In response to concerns about energy problems, pollution, climate change, economic uncertainty, and resource limitations, Monterey residents have come together to prepare locally.

MGA has been in existence since March 2007. We were formed as a subsidiary of the non-profit group Citizens for a Sustainable Monterey County. CSMC provides education, organizes community action groups, and works on a project/campaign specific basis toward a stronger economic and environmentally sustainable future in Monterey County. CSMC collaborates with the community to enhance regional self reliance, reduce fossil fuel use and CO2 emissions. Sustainable Monterey County promotes the Urban Environmental Accords and the US Mayors Climate Protection Agreements.

MGA has held meetings focusing on both sides of the community general plan, peak oil, alternative fuels, green building, the association HOPE, and the effects of plastic pollution on the oceans. MGA currently works in a team-based structure.
