Take some action!

For the next couple of posts, I want to share with you some of the organizations that I am a member of (local, national, and international) that are doing positive things that I support.
I encourage you to visit some of the sites and subscribe to the causes that you feel passionate about.

Here are some organizations that deal specifically with Louisville:


Sustainability City Forum is designed to raise the community's awareness of sustainable practices. While the ultimate goal of providing a catalyst to moving Louisville and the region towards a sustainable model for the nation, each forum in the series will focus on different aspects of sustainable practice and will sometimes have different audiences. Great events- usually held at Glassworks. Free events, must RSVP.


Transition Louisville works to tap into community passions, expertise and resources to create a better future for this and all generations. They are a group of Louisville residents taking the initiative to make our community more sustainable, adaptable and connected as we face new and uncertain energy, economic and environmental conditions to come.


Breaking New Grounds is a project by Heine Brothers to use used coffee grounds into a tool for strengthening the community. They have a community garden in Louisville's west end where coffee grounds are used for composting. They need lost of volunteers because their project is expanding like CRAZY!

And here is an organization Kentucky-specific:


Kentuckians for the Commonwealth focuses on protecting the rights of people in Kentucky. They have campaigned for the restoration of voting rights for past felons (KY is currently 1 of only 2 states that takes away voting rights from all formed felons). Right now they are advocating against Mountain Top Removal Coal Mining with their I Heart Mountains campaign.
