our story
In December 2008, ten people who were really concerned about global warming got together in a coffee shop on the Northside in Pittsburgh to discuss how citizens can have a bigger role in addressing climate change.
The Citizens Climate Corps was born, empowering groups of people to make climate-friendly changes in their communities, schools, and businesses.
In 2013, the organization changed names, becoming Communitopia, and gained a focus on new media and humor - but still retains the original, core values of engaging the public and empowering everyone to help build the climate-friendly, energy-independent society of tomorrow.
