Green Action

Austin Environmental Democrats is an advocacy group that works to educate our members, inform our elected officials, and create a forum where Austinites can come together and learn more about the issues impacting our surroundings.

We pass resolutions and advocate for them, endorse primary candidates who are truly green, and work together as volunteers for important green projects around Austin.

You can get involved in our decision-making by becoming a member.

We meet the first Friday of each month at noon at El Mercado on South First Street.

We meet monthly at the Eastern Bank community room in Harvard Square, usually on the first Thursday of every month at 6:30pm. These meetings are open to the public and we invite you to attend and share your environmental concerns with us as well as your energy and enthusiasm for addressing them.

The Denver Permaculture Guild is a membership-based nonprofit working to build a more just, resilient, and ecologically robust city. We provide permaculture classes, advocate for a regenerative Denver, and foster the development of sustainable businesses and interdependent, hyper-local communities.

Permaculture is the quest for a permanent human culture, one not in debt to non-renewable resources and constant growth. Every action of our guild therefore strives to establish stable and regenerative human habitats that enrich and heal the greater environment.
