ON EARTH DAY, April 22nd, 2011, local businesses around Austin are banding together to support several non-profit organizations committed to protecting the environment and preserving the culture of our community. Friends of Barton Springs Pool is one of those organizations! So you can eat, shop, and play at designated local businesses on Earth Day and they have pledged to donate 5% (or more!) of their gross sales to local environmental and community non-profits.
Other beneficiary organizations include the Hill Country Conservancy, Texas Land Conservancy, TreeFolks, Clean Water Fund, and the Sierra Club.
