Green Action

At the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center at The University of Texas, Austin, we inspire conservation of native plants through our gardens, research, education, consulting and outreach programs.

In doing so, we improve water quality, provide habitat for wildlife and enhance human health and happiness.

WHY NATIVE PLANTS MATTER

Native wildflowers, grasses, shrubs and trees help conserve water, reduce mowing costs, provide habitat for birds, butterflies and other wildlife, protect the soil, and reduce use of fertilizers and pesticides.

Debris Free Oceans is a volunteer-run non-profit organization, based in Miami, that inspires local communities to responsibly manage the lifecycle of plastics and waste as part of a global initiative to eradicate marine debris from our beaches, reefs, and oceans.

We organize educational events for students, organizations, businesses, and politicians about zero-waste lifestyles and how we can incorporate these principles into immediate and long-term strategy.

We at Slow Food Denver are a diverse group of food enthusiasts with a dedication to preserving food traditions, supporting local food producers and purveyors, promoting sustainable agriculture, influencing food policy, protecting biodiversity, and educating members, school children, and the greater community about the pleasures of growing and eating healthy food.

Environmental Services protects public health, water quality and the environment.

We work with Portland residents and businesses to protect water quality, public health, and the environment through wastewater collection and treatment, sewer construction and maintenance, stormwater management, and stream and watershed restoration.
