Valle Verde commits to better the world with its Green Footprint program

Set in the foothills of Santa Barbara, California, Valle Verde is a nonprofit, continuing care retirement community owned and operated by American Baptist Homes of the West (ABHOW), a senior living provider based in Pleasanton. The Valle Verde living experience, according to the community’s website, emphasizes choice, individuality, a positive atmosphere and a commitment to environmental stewardship. Many improvements to the 60-acre campus have involved collaborative effort and innovative thinking about how to reduce the environmental impact on the community itself, as well as the world that surrounds it.
