Green Organizations

The Florida Native Plant Society is a non-profit formed in 1980 to promote the preservation, conservation, and restoration of the native plants and native plant communities of Florida and the use of Florida native plants in landscaping.

While some members are botanical, environmental or nursery professionals, most of us are just "regular" people who enjoy nature or gardening.

The Dade Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society is one of more than 20 chapters around the state.

Chapter activities include:

BikeDenver’s mission is to provide all in Denver with the opportunity to bike safely and conveniently. We compile and share bike lane data to help improve street design and code enforcement, teach families how to get to school safely, help businesses add bike racks, hold regular Group Rides and teach Urban Commuter Classes.

Vegan Life Colorado works to educate the public on the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle. We are nonsectarian and welcome everyone.

Our projects include social activities, participation in VegFest Colorado and in the Animal Action Network.

VEGFEST COLORADO is a 2 day fair that promotes a plant-based/vegan lifestyle and a supportive vegan community.

ANIMAL ACTION NETWORK is a Colorado organization that supports and promotes the humane and ethical treatment of animals by human beings.

Solana Center for Environmental Innovation is a San Diego-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that focuses on zero waste, composting, and water conservation. Our mission is to mobilize the local community through innovative outreach and provide consulting services to businesses and jurisdictions in order to address the region’s most pressing environmental issues and enact impactful change.

From seed to table, Austin’s Sustainable Food Center creates opportunities for individuals to make healthy food choices and to participate in a vibrant local food system. Through organic food gardening, relationships with area farmers, interactive cooking classes, and nutrition education, we strive to empower children and adults in Austin with increased access to locally grown, healthy, and affordable food.

OUR PROGRAMS

The Hill Country Alliance (HCA) is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to raise public awareness and build community support for preserving the natural heritage of Central Texas Hill Country through conservation and planned growth.

WHAT WE DO

We serve as a resource about Hill Country issues for elected officials at state and local levels, and we collaborate regularly with land trusts, universities, groundwater districts, government agencies, environmental groups and landowners.

Verde serves communities by building environmental wealth through Social Enterprise, Outreach and Advocacy.

Verde engages community members, peer organizations and policymakers about the connection between protecting the environment and building community, advocating and organizing with low-income people and people of color to drive environmental resources into their neighborhoods in response to existing needs.

The opportunity exists for Boston to pivot from its fossil-fueled past to clean energy; this means moving our building designs into the 21st century through a relentless focus on efficiency and cost-effective switches from gas and other fossil fuels to clean, electricity-based heating/cooling.

The Boston Clean Energy Coalition (BCEC) brings together organizations and allies in the shared commitment to accelerate this shift.
