Green Action

EarthLinks is an innovative nonprofit in Denver that provides work programs for people who are homeless and low-income to learn new skills and create Earth-friendly products. Please support our program by visiting our online shop or volunteering.

We provide many opportunities to those in need, including gardening and eco-friendly production workshops, day trips into nature for the homeless, and writing and housing workshops.

The Austin Yellow Bike Project is a volunteer-powered initiative to put bicycles on the streets of Austin and Central Texas by operating community bike shops, teaching bike mechanics and maintenance, and acting as a local bike advocacy group.

At YBP, we don’t fix your bike for you—we show you how to fix it yourself. Our Webberville Shop has twelve fully equipped work-stands and a large selection of used parts, frames, and bikes in various stages of repair.

We are Before It’s Too Late (BITL), a nonprofit initiative founded by MIT graduate students to leverage arts, technology and science to ignite urgency and collaboration toward addressing climate change.

BITL is running a first-of-its-kind Climate Action Prototyping Lab to rapidly implement and test concepts that can create social change. Inspired by think tanks and innovation labs, our center is differentiated by action-oriented community programs. We strive to find the tools that deliver results and partner with organizations to scale them.

Bound by Beauty is a nonprofit organization that transforms how we interact with nature and with neighbors to create a safer, stronger, healthier, and more resilient community. And we're using butterflies as the catalyst for change, by promoting and supporting butterfly gardens.

Our programs include:
• Creating Butterfly Gardens
• Network of Neighborhood Nurturies (places where nature's gifts can be shared)
• Foster Garden Project
• Seeds2Share (helping seniors germinate gardens)

Austin Youth River Watch is a multi-year, after-school and summer program for high school students that combines peer mentoring with intensive environmental education. It's a safe place to grow and gain confidence while learning to be active stewards of our planet.

*PRESERVING THE WEST CHICAGO PRAIRIE SINCE 1983*

Volunteers from the West Chicago Prairie Stewardship Group provide important support for the management of the 358-acre West Chicago Prairie.

We remove invading woody growth, eliminate alien weeds, collect seeds of native grasses and forbs, and sow collected seeds in recently restored areas and adjacent old-field areas.

We are always seeking volunteers who wish to aid in management and preservation and our website provides updated information on our workdays.

The Denver Chapter of the Colorado Renewable Energy Society seeks to lead our city to an efficient renewable energy economy through education, policy, and economic development.
