WHY
Austin, Texas is one of the most environmentally progressive cities in the world. "The Ball" showcases the businesses, non-profit groups, and educators that contribute to the outstanding quality of life Austin provides for its rapidly growing population.

As growth continues in Central Texas and throughout the world, so does the depletion of natural resources, the increase of CO2 emissions, the increase of pollution and waste. Environmental issues such as global warming, endangered water and air quality, exposure to toxic chemicals, dependance on factory-farmed foods, and other concerns related to human consumption are overwhelming communities at home and abroad.

The Ball offers solutions, in an atmosphere only the Live Music Capitol of the World (-- we think, "Green Living Capitol of the World" is even more fitting) can offer. We just wanna be green. We wanna share a beautiful world with our kids. Have fun. Be environmentally sustainable. And we want you to be a part of it.
