Green Action

Our mission at Project Angel Heart is to deliver nutritious meals, at no cost, to those coping with life-threatening illnesses. Please help us supplement the produce we grow by donating your extra veggies or planting a special row, or by joining as a sustainability volunteer.

We seek freshly picked, pesticide-free tomatoes, zucchinis, yellow squashes, and greens such as chard, kale, collards, and mustard greens.

WalkDenver's goal is to make Denver the most walkable city in the country through policy advocacy, the collection of data for walking areas, demonstrations of pedestrian-friendly infrastructure, and the participation of people like you.

Our “Tactical Urbanism” projects engage community members in envisioning and designing temporary demonstrations of pedestrian-friendly infrastructure mixed with art, culture, pop-up businesses and street life.

At Ecology Action, our mission is to create a healthier environment in central Texas through resource recovery operations, brownfield remediation, and zero waste initiatives. You can visit our experiment in recycling contaminated and wasted land at Circle Acres.

350 Austin is a local, grassroots organization committed to the goals and strategies of 350.org: keeping carbon in the ground, building a new, more equitable low-carbon economy, and pressuring our government into limiting emissions.

350 Austin is uniquely positioned to influence the direction of climate change action because we're in the capital of Texas, a state with a long history with the fossil fuel industry.

OUR GOALS

Remarkably, the Chicago metropolitan area contains some of Illinois’ largest and best remnants of our native eco-systems. That’s where the volunteers of North Branch Restoration Project come in, gathering at scheduled sites to restore health to our local Forest Preserves by cutting brush, pulling weeds, gathering and sowing seeds.

By removing introduced weeds and invasive brush, we reduce competition that threatens native plants.

Collecting and scattering seeds of native species, we restore the grasses and wildflowers to places where they’ve died out.

The Walter S. Mander Foundation provides grants to support local Chicagoland food sustainability programs, such as Forefront’s Mission Sustainability Initiative, Fresh Taste, Windy City Harvest, and Advocates for Urban Agriculture’s Ward Ambassador program.
