Business Leaders for Coastal Protection: Everette
Phillips
 Everette
Phillips has always lived and worked on one coast or the other. Growing
up on Long Island's Great South Bay and Jones Beach, it seemed a natural
fit for him to make his way to our coast, which he has called home
since the early 80's.
Everette now owns China Manufacturing Network in Irvine and from there
he has watched our coastal communities get more built up making public
beach access increasingly difficult.
He always thought setting up a business on our coast would make it
easy to attract people to come in for training. "Now, it is troubling
to have visitors fly in from Canada or Chicago or New York who want
to experience our wonderful California lifestyle," Everette said.
"You show them our beaches with posted biohazard signs and they
can never feel comfortable relaxing and going in the water."
Everette refuses to sit quietly and watch his coast deteriorate. He
is a prominent member of Sierra Club's Banning Ranch Project, Republicans
for Environmental Protection, the Orange County River Park and the
Orange County League of Conservation Voters, all while he runs his
successful business. Everette is dedicated to helping these groups
preserve our limited coastal open-space and protect our coastal water
quality; and for that reason we name Everette our new Business Leader
for Coastal Protection.
