| Resources from our past meetings | ||||
Each meeting of the Environmental Change-Makers is packed with resources - environmental solutions, tips and suggestions, product recommendations, local sources, philosophical approaches. Rather than allow these collections of resources to disappear after our meetings, we retain them online at this website. |

"These folks understand better than almost anyone the odd and powerful connection between the local, the global, and the national --between the personal and the political. And they understand that it all needs to be full of fun and charged with meaning. They are activists and activators!" --Bill McKibben commenting on our book, Environmental Change-Making |
| Positive Environmental News |
At Environmental Change-Makers, we begin each meeting by sharing Positive Environmental News: the good news about each other, our community, or things we heard in the news. Here is some Positive Environmental News -- a feed we created from some of our favorite sources. |
