Your Local Event Reminder:
Bootstrap Austin is a local entrepreneurship group that I am involved in. The Sustainability Subgroup has the next meeting set for March 29.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS
- What is Sustainability? Sustainability is how we derive our food, fiber, feed, fuel and fertilizer from the land base. By using renewable energy supplies, energy efficiency, and embedded energy reduction, as well as re-configuring supply chains to use less energy, we find ways to maintain and restore the Earth such that it can in turn maintain and restore us.
- Who should come? Individuals and companies involved or interested in permaculture, green building, renewable energy and fuels, energy efficiency, composting, organics, local food, transportation, triple bottom line, water conservation, etc.
- What do we want to do? We want to explore how the disruption of price increases in energy and all its ramifications will make it possible for people to start or grow a business.
