The Austin EcoNetwork (AEN) is a network of people interested in information, events, and resources related to Austin and the environment.

AEN is known as an effective way to drive turn-out at events, drum up volunteers, find quality employees for green jobs, mobilize people to contact elected officials, boost enrollment at educational seminars and help people make conscious purchasing choices.

The Austin EcoNetwork began as a listserv in 2003 and became a website in May of 2009 featuring an online EcoCalendar, blogs, forums and  EcoDirectories where you will find environmentally-friendly businesses, environmental organizations, and government departments.

A key service that thousands of Austinites subscribe to is the (free) twice-weekly Austin EcoNewsletter, featuring key events, blogs, and news relevant to Austin and the environment.

If you are interested in environmentally-concerned events happening in the Austin area, then glance at our Green Events below or check out our  you are interested in posting an event, please contact us.
