Tracy Earth Project hosted the 2025 Tracy Earth Day event, featuring the Earth Day Challenge (EDC). The EDC was developed by Tracy Earth Project in partnership with the Tracy Unified School District.
Approximately 30 teams—about 180 students—from Tracy and nearby schools participated in the EDC this year. Judging was conducted by TUSD STEM directors and community leaders, who were both inspired and impressed by the students’ work.
The circular bioeconomy is an economic model that uses renewable biological resources like agriculture and food waste to create new products, materials, and energy. This new industry has the potential to radically improve the environmental and economic health of the North San Joaquin Valley.

Valley Link is a new 42-mile, passenger rail service connecting the more than 105,000 workers who travel daily over the Altamont Pass from their homes in the Northern San Joaquin Valley with fast, frequent, zero-emission service.
