Paul Relis Bio:

Paul became the founding executive director of the Community Environmental Council (CEC) after the disastrous oil spill in the Santa Barbara Channel in 1969. Paul then became an executive with the state EPA, and lectured for nearly two decades on Environmental Studies at his alma mater, UCSB.

Paul feels his current work with CR&R Inc, a company developing a 30 million dollar Anaerobic Digester at a facility in Perris, CA, (due to open in three months) with a carbon free, ultra low emissions biofuels created from organic waste, is the exciting culmination of all his work---fulfilling a dream of making our community and state less reliant on oil for energy.
