Mission Educating People. Engaging our Community. Effecting Environmental Change. Vision ECOMB, an environmental not-for-profit organization founded in 1994, is dedicated to the promotion of environmental sustainability and the preservation of our community’s ecology. This mission is carried out through the development and implementation of a variety of educational programs and campaigns in an effort to achieve the following objectives: • Reduce the amount of litter in Miami-Dade County’s beaches, waterways, islands, parks and mangroves; • Increase the county’s residential and business recycling rates; • Promote, preserve and restore coastal habitats, such as our sandy beaches, near shore coral reefs, beach dunes, mangroves, and Biscayne Bay islands and waters. • Decrease our community’s carbon footprint through the adoption of “green” lifestyle practices that are more environmentally sustainable.
