What we do

CommunEcos evolved from yikes!– YOU(th) Involved in Keeping Earth Sustainable,  a non-profit organization based in Durham, NC that fosters cross-generational community-based education and outreach to aid our society's transition to renewable forms of energy and low-carbon lifestyles. We seek to cross over race and class boundaries that have long hindered environmental advocacy.

We engage in hands-on projects to raise consciousness about the urgency of action on the energy/climate crisis that confronts us, and to promote awareness of alternatives to fossil fuels and carbon pollution.

We are in the process of getting our 501-c-3 status. For more information, contact Sandy Smith-Nonini, at yikes.contact@gmail.com.
