Background

I Love A Clean San Diego (ILACSD) offers a broad range of expertise in environmental education program design and implementation. ILACSD works to promote regional awareness of environmental issues including resource conservation, waste reduction and recycling, community enhancement, and pollution prevention. ILACSD is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation.

Founded as the San Diego War Against Litter Committee in 1954, I Love A Clean San Diego celebrates over 50 years of promoting environmental education and awareness in San Diego County. In the 1970s "I Love A Clean San Diego" was the slogan for the organization's anti-litter campaign and in 1980 it became the organization's name. In 1989, ILACSD merged with the San Diego Ecology Center, joining two leading environmental organizations together to better serve the community, under one name.
