Building a Cleaner Future, Together

At the Green Shovel Project, we're building a vibrant community committed to cleaning and preserving the natural beauty of San Luis Obispo and the entire California region. Join us in making a tangible difference for our planet.

Our Inspiring Beginning

The Green Shovel Project began with a simple yet powerful idea, sparked by the passion of Cal Poly student Koby Kaplan and his peers. Witnessing the need for direct action, they envisioned a student-run nonprofit dedicated to combating pollution and fostering a healthier Earth. This founding moment ignited our journey to help the earth.

Cultivating Community, Fostering Change

Beyond cleanups, we're dedicated to cultivating a strong, passionate community in San Luis Obispo. We believe that by working together, we can inspire a deeper appreciation for the environment and empower individuals to understand their impact. Teamwork is at our core, and through collaboration, we're creating lasting positive change, one shovel at a time.

 

The green shovel project doesn't just clean; it connects people who truly believe in a better world for our environment and our community. It's inspiring to be a part of something so meaningful.
