In the near future this will be a portal for all things Green in Austin! A place where you can find out what’s going on, who is doing what, where the good green resources are, learn about best practices, contribute to shaping community visions and be inspired!
What we have in the works:
1. A community calendar of events, where approved posters can automatically post events and others can submits posts for approval.
2. A blog version of the current Austin EcoNetwork email list. Announcements posted in a blog format will trigger publication/distribution of an email version of each announcement. Some EcoNetwork announcements will also be available via a syndication feed.
3. A place to list jobs and volunteer opportunities.
4. Community Agendas on Green issues as they relate to Arts and Culture, Building, Economy, Education, Energy, Food, Health, Land, Spirit, Transportation, Trees, Water.
5. Listserv

We are growing network of individuals, groups, organizations, agencies and companies committed to finding smart ways to work together on behalf of a healthy planet for all of us.
We provide a forum for digital communication and opportunities for social interaction (like Green Drinks, Progressive Potlucks, Chicas Verdes, and more). We are also holding a vision for creating a Green Center in Austin. It will be in a model green building where nonprofit groups and green business entrepreneurs that can co-locate and share copiers and conference rooms, as well as web development staff, pr support, etc. There would also be green business, meeting facilities, community gather spaces, organic food restaurants and, ideally, housing integrated or nearby.
Until the Austin EcoNetwork
calendar is live, you can find many good green events at AustinProgressiveCalendar.com
