SIMPLE… SUSTAINABLE... SOLUTIONS
Around the world so many predictions for the future are very dark. On any given day, news is dominated by topics such as climate change, water and food shortages, stories of forest loss and dust bowls. When there are trashcans filled with food, how can there be food shortages? With richly landscaped desert homes, how can there be a water shortage? The answers are easy as we step back and look globally at our world. Each continent and island shares an ocean with someone else. No country survives without exports and imports. No matter what your politics or desires – we already live in a global community where all of our activities are ultimately linked.
ECOLIFE Foundation is dedicated to resolving conflict between conservation needs and community needs. For example, ECOLIFE looks for a sustainable balance between conserving a forest and providing local communities fuel wood or construction supplies for survival.
Our approach to conservation and humanitarian work is holistic. ECOLIFE believes that there is still space and resources for all people and wildlife that hold this fragile web of life in place. We believe conservative use of our resources will allow more people to improve their quality of life, better manage family sizes and ultimately allow us to live in greater harmony.
The future of conservation is humanity.

Rainwater Harvesting Systems on Housing for Disadvantaged Families
A collaborative project
We are proud to announce new collaborations in our home city of San Diego – collaborations that speak to the very essence of the ECOLIFE Foundation. We hope that these new friends will inspire you to learn more about each of us and discover new ways to help.
Like many communities around the world, San Diego, California is gripped in a MAJOR water crisis. San Diego’s water crisis pits homeowners against farmers, farmers against fishermen and northerners against southerners in a battle for a precious resource we all need --- WATER.
This year proceeds from the ECOLIFE Foundation’s Walking4Water event will provide 1100-gallon rainwater harvesting systems to homes for underserved individuals that are managed by San Diego’s Habitat For Humanity and Interfaith Community Services. Additionally, a system will be built at The Water Conservation Garden at Cuyamaca College to act as an educational resource for thousands and thousands of people annually.
