Submitted by Patrick Van Haren on Thu, 08/05/2010 - 13:38
Customer Service Reps
Overview:
Microbial Earth is accepting applications for the part-time positions of Customer Service Representatives.
We have been loving our work at the farmer’s markets and so we want to go to more markets, but we can’t do them all. If you enjoy farmer’s markets and gardening, then this might be for you.
We are looking for about 10-12 people to work Saturday mornings as either a team or as an individual at the regional farmer’s markets. Other markets during the week, or on Sunday are also available. We have additional hours available during the week to help customers and do follow-up via telephone.

The end of the road for Austin CarShare = Success!?!
Submitted by EcoBrandi on Wed, 07/28/2010 - 01:18
I just opened the email with my monthly Austin CarShare invoice and learned that the organization ceased operations as of Thursday, July 22. As a founding board member and long-time chair/spokesperson for the nonprofit I initially had had a range of feelings about reading this news.
Does the end of the organization mean that it was a failure? What is success? Defining success is subjective and up to each of us. In the nonprofit world, the ultimate success CAN mean putting yourself out of business. Isn't the mission of every homeless program to eliminate the sources of homelessness and need for their services?
In that vein, I declare that Austin CarShare was a success. In just 44 months it admirably accomplished several things that made a difference in the transportation landscape of Austin (and beyond), laid the groundwork for a for-profit program to launch rather easily, and had numerous positive environmental impacts.
