Win a Supply of Clif Bars for your school!
Clif Bar has donated a supply of bars for each of the seven winner's classrooms. Bars will be delivered to schools in June 2008.
Protecting the Places We Love to Play
When Clif Bar started in 1992, we were interested in making healthy, all-natural food; playing outside; and celebrating the good things in life. Not much of that has changed.
All that time spent outside has given us a healthy appreciation for protecting all those places where we play from global warming - one of the biggest threats to the environment. We've learned a lot about how and why we should reduce our environmental impact and the importance of sharing it with others.
We are...
Working to measure and reduce our climate footprint by educating our employees, business partners, and the public about global warming.
You can...
Reduce your climate footprint by purchasing carbon offsets, switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs and getting creative with your commute.
