Green
The Live Music Capital of the World. The River City. Gateway to the Texas Hill Country. Over time, Austin has been called many things. And now we can add one more to the list: The #1 Green Building Program in America (according to Austin Energy).
As those of us who live here know, Austin is a town full of folks who are into green homes, organic gardening, alternative fuel vehicles, and almost any other kind of environmentally friendly initiative you can name. Here are just a few Austin companies who are doing their part to paint Austin green:
• Austin Habitat for Humanity ReStore
• Austin CarShare
• Electric Cars of Austin
• Global Energy Designs
• Innovative Water Solutions
• Natural Gardener
And for the mother lode of everything green, check out the Austin Energy home page. It’s got everything you want to know about being kind to Mother Nature.
