Saturday, April 14

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and our employees and retirees are once again proud to partner with the California State Parks Foundation (CSPF) for its annual Earth Day Restoration and Cleanup on Saturday, April 14.

Celebrating a longstanding environmental partnership

PG&E is committed to environmental leadership and is continuing the tradition of partnering with CSPF as the statewide presenting sponsor of the 2012 Earth Day Restoration and Cleanup. This is the 11th consecutive year that PG&E has partnered with CSPF. Since our Earth Day partnership began with CSPF, PG&E has contributed more than $1.5 million to help fund important maintenance and improvement projects at California parks.

Our Employees Make the Difference

The spirit of service and sense of community are alive and well at PG&E. For more than 10 years, PG&E employees, retirees and their families and friends have made the annual Earth Day Restoration and Cleanup a signature event for volunteerism and an investment in our communities. In that time, our PG&E volunteers have dedicated more than 20,000 volunteer hours to the parks on Earth Day.

Last year, PG&E volunteers worked hard throughout our 70,000 square-mile service area to beautify our state, accomplishing much in just a few hours. More than 1,200 volunteers contributed more than 3,700 hours at 18 sites. Together they planted more than 4,400 native trees and plants, removed more than 550 bags of trash and 90 bags of recyclables, and restored nearly 5 miles of trails at local parks, recreation areas and beaches.

PG&E's commitment to the environment

Our commitment to environmental leadership extends well beyond Earth Day and covers a broad range of activities, from protecting sensitive habitats and species to offering our customers energy efficiency solutions and the addition of renewable energy sources to our generation portfolio.
