Green Organizations

Chicago Gateway Green is a not-for-profit public-private partnership dedicated to greening and beautifying Chicago’s gateways and expressways through landscape enhancement, litter and graffiti removal and the installation of public art.

We're already planted over 80,000 shrubs in 100 gardens over 150 acres of roadside landscape.

SHARE OUR VISION?

We can achieve more together. Greening is hard, serious work – but we make sure to celebrate and have some fun along the way.

Get involved today by volunteering or sponsoring one of our expressway gardens.

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.

The Denver Tesla Club facilitates connections and conversations among local owners of the best car ever made. We meet monthly with our fellow Tesla owners, plan Tesla events, and share information about other interesting events along the Front Range.

For example, in February 2018, we had a fun and exciting Tesla road trip from Denver to Colorado Springs to Poncha Springs as commemoration for the opening of a new Supercharger. All were welcome, including non-owners, for whom we were happy to arrange rides.
