Welcome!


Welcome to the Eco Change Exchange (EcoXChange)! Due to the immense challenges facing our city, nation, and planet, leading environmental groups from around the city have joined together to advocate for a sustainable agenda at the local and state level. In the first half of 2009, we hosted several events to gather the policy priorities of the new City Council, local environmental activists and subject experts, as well as concerned citizens. Now we are working on analyzing the priorities and synthesizing a master list of community environmental priorities. We will use this list as the base of our activism over the next 1-2 years.

But we cannot be successful unless we enlist the help of the entire community! We need every citizen to engage in this battle for a sustainable future. Please consider joining our mailing list, following us on twitter, or just participating in our online forums or local events. Together we can make history!

Introducing EcoXChange Community Vision!

The EcoXChange Austin alliance is proud to release our first Community Vision document. This vision represents the collaboration of over 40 local environmental groups and is a policy statement that will direct our activism and (hopefully) the City's leadership in the coming year. Please join us for a press conference today at City Hall for more information.
