BAA was founded on April 22, 1990 by volunteers and staff of the National Earth Day 1990 Campaign. BAA's programs cover a spectrum of environmental issues. We support issue-based programs such as the American Forests Project, Nuclear Issues Project, Electric Vehicle Project, the Community Organic Garden Project, outreach programs such as the BAA Cafe, Publications, and Earth Day Project, as well as constituency-based programs such as our Schools Project. In addition, we work closely with affiliates like the East Palo Alto Historical and Agricultural Society (EPA-HAS) and other local and national groups. The Arastradero Preserve Project recently submitted a proposal to the City of Palo Alto to obtain a lease for the 600 acre preserve and buildings on the property.
BAA's projects employ many strategies including: hands-on restoration work, school curricula, neighborhood organizing, demonstrations, letter writing, phone-in's, publications, sales of environmentally sound products, cooperation with other groups, and more.
