Our staff welcomes the opportunity to get out and inspire Austinites to go green by adopting sustainable behaviors they can teach their families, friends, and neighbors. We are available to present sustainability information to community organizations, at events, and in classrooms.
We participate in the Austin Energy Regional Science Festival, present at school Career Days, and meet and talk with residents at community events to answer questions about sustainability and provide resources that can help efforts to go green.
We also manage the Bright Green Future Grants program, which supports innovative sustainability projects that will inspire students to become lifelong environmental stewards.
