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
