Help Clean Up the Salton Sea with Science
Donation protected
The Salton Sea, once a vibrant desert oasis, is now facing one of California’s most urgent environmental crises. As the lake recedes, it exposes a toxic mix of arsenic, pesticides, and salt, poisoning the air and land. Local children are breathing in dangerous dust, wildlife populations are vanishing, and the surrounding communities are left with little hope for relief. Despite the scale of the problem, large-scale solutions have been lacking—until now.
The Better Blue Rock Initiative is a science-driven mission to restore and protect the Salton Sea using advanced, sustainable technology. Our team is launching an innovative cleanup effort that combines solar-powered distillation towers to purify toxic water and plasma arc gasification to neutralize harmful sludge and salts. By harnessing renewable energy, we aim to return clean water to the lake, stop toxic dust storms, and revive this critical ecosystem for both people and wildlife.
What Your Donation Supports:
With your help, we will fund engineering and permitting for our pilot system, begin public outreach and environmental review, build momentum to attract major funding and partnerships, and provide a replicable model for other contaminated lakes. This isn’t just about the Salton Sea — it’s about proving that we can clean our planet with science and courage. Join the Better Blue Rock movement and help us prove that science and community can restore our planet. Donate today and be part of the solution.
