About Our Company

SIMPLICITY & EFFICIENCY

Eco 180 is creating a better future for South Carolina by directly addressing critical environmental and social challenges through our integrated mission. By promoting Minority youth in agriculture with a STEAM focus and executing a Clean Community Incentive in overlooked areas, we are fostering environmental equity and resilience statewide.

Mission

"The climate crisis and social injustice are inextricably linked."

- Jerome Foster II, the youngest-ever White House advisor for environmental justice

Areas of IMPACT

Here are a few of our Inventives

Enviromental Racism

Racial discrimination in environmental policy-making and enforcement that disproportionately exposes communities of color to environmental hazards like pollution and toxic waste sites.

STEAM Education Approach

We promote Minority youth involvement in agriculture using a comprehensive STEAM approach, which is vital for closing the educational opportunity gap and reversing the alarming decline of Black farmers in the U.S. who now represent only about 1.3% of the nation's total producers.

Minority Youth in Agriculture

The effort to engage Minority youth in agriculture is vital for the future of our food system, fostering innovation, diversity, and food sovereignty. By investing in young people of color, we are working to reverse a long-standing historical injustice and build a more inclusive agricultural landscape.

Clean Community

Our Clean Community Incentive promotes environmental justice by cleaning up neglected, low-income areas where accumulated waste disproportionately creates localized environmental hazards.
