Community Connections may be considered going green connections. Whether you live in Asheville or in Anytown those connections can deepen an important sense of belonging. The going green part is about neighbors, neighborhoods, and whole regions flourishing.
Take for example going green organizations such as:
The Audubon Society.Here in Asheville the chapter of the Audubon Society is open to birders of all 
experience levels. (Photo taken just a short walk from a birding adventure at Elisha Mitchell Audubon Society. )
The Clean Air Community Trust. Our family is a big fan of improving air quality. Possibly yours is, too. Here is a link to innovative programs that educate, energize and empower the communities of WNC.
Blue Ridge Forever is on my great connections list because you can connect with thirteen (13) local, state and national conservation organizations working to protect the Blue Ridge Mountains. Go here:
The Canary Coalition. You probably already know about this one. It is a grassroots group working to mobilize and demonstrate public support for clean air. Nothing like clean air, right?
