Event Description

Connecting environmentally minded professionals, green businesses and community leaders from the Great State of Texas - please join us November 7 for live music, networking and discussion around leading the charge for Texas site sustainability. 

Together, as responsible stewards of our Texas communities, it's up to us to ensure the landscape, infrastructure, and buildings are designed with regard to the harmful impacts on scarce resources, ecological systems, and the quality of life in the community. As individuals, we all play a critical role in addressing these important challenges so as to not jeopardize the needs of future generations.

As professionals, practicing sustainable development in various areas and industries, we are obligated to seek and design a better, more sustainable future for Texas. To move the needle forward we must support and invest in the companies developing new technologies and products that allow more sustainable buildings and land development.

The Sustainable Honky Tonk Connection will be celebrating sustainable site development with live music provided by FingerPistol, delicious libations from Lagunitas and Deep Eddy Vodka and hearty snacks served by Tailgate Bistro.

Hosted by:
USGBC Central Texas - Balcones Chapter Organic Horticulture Benefits Alliance TNLA - Texas Nursery and Landscape Association
