The South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) has selected two Rancho Palos Verdes teachers as winners of its 2023/2024 “South Bay Sustainability in Action” Photo Contest. The winners tied for first place among 10 finalists chosen through an online vote of attendees of the SBCCOG’s annual General Assembly event. The March event serves as an opportunity for the region's thought leaders to gather, share ideas and discuss important issues to the South Bay subregion. The winning images depict South Bay children learning about sustainability in their “South Bay” backyard.
