Last weekend we got to go to Enviro Expo. Which was especially fun because my dad was kind of the one who started it. I ended up volunteering at the Sierra Club booth for a lot of the time, so I didn't get to wander around and meet people as much as I would have liked, but I still had a great time. Here are some of the organizations I was most interested in that I discovered there:
The Living Green Pages. This is going to be launched soon. It's an idea I've heard before, of basically combining every environmentally-friendly resource you need into one website. Great concept. We'll see if it comes together.
The Greening Youth Foundation. This is a new program that goes into schools and teaches an eight-week environmental education program. I was particularly interested in this because right now they're only in elementary schools, but long-term they'd like to expand into middle and high schools. I told them I'd be very interested in helping with that...
Eco Clean Atlanta. I was just thinking the other day that this ought to exist. Turns out it does. It's an ecologically-friendly cleaning service. I'm not in the market for a cleaning service right now, but if I ever am, I will definitely call them.
And my favorite: Career Eco. I'm not in the market for a job right now, but this kind of makes me wish I were. Eco careers, all on one website. Cool. The website doesn't seem to be working right now, though.

Lisa,
I enjoyed this post, but it looks like your links to the orgs are broken. (I think you forgot the http:// ahead of the URLs).

Ah, how embarrassing. Thanks for pointing that out.
