Ecology Action of Texas

Our friends at Reliant Energy have some tips for reducing your carbon footprint this summer: follow the 4-by-4 rule: if no one is going to be home for more than 4 hours, set the temperature 4 degrees higher while you’re gone. It will make a bigger impact than you think!

Want to make an even bigger impact? Sign up for the Reliant EcoShare (SM) program! In partnership with EarthShare Texas since 2011, you’ll be supporting more than 30 environmental organizations in Texas and offsetting your carbon emissions so Texas summers can stay as beautiful as ever.

Thanks to you, we raised over $5,700 for Ecology Action during Amplify Austin Day! That was 82% of our $7,000 goal, and an increase over last year. Don't forget that the Amplify portal is still open, and donations can be made at the link below until it closes in a few weeks. Thanks again to everyone who participated in this campaign. Your generosity helps us keep Circle Acres open and free to the public! Now get outside and take a walk at the preserve! ❤

It will be over soon, but we’d love to get closer to our goal! There are only 30 more minutes to AMPLIFY for Ecology Action (psssst…the donation portal will still be open for a few more days). Won’t you help us get to $7K?

With only a little only more than two hours left of Amplify Austin, we still have 24% of our goal left to reach! We know that a lot of people wait until the last minute (sometimes we do too), but it sure would be great to see that percentage shrink before 5 PM! Please consider making your donation sooner rather than later -- we appreciate your support!

You have less than FIVE hours left to AMPLIFY, so don’t delay! And don’t forget that you can give up to 10 non-profits at a time—of course, we hope you’ll choose Ecology Action as one of your favorites. Thank you for helping us reach our goal!

It's Giving Tuesday!

Ecology Action not only operates a nature preserve that's free and open to the public daily, we also give back to the community in many other ways! In nearby Roy G. Guerrero Park, we maintain trails and continue to restore areas with native plants and trees. This year, in addition to our summer camp, we started the Montopolis Youth Nature Club, which offers fun and educational outdoor activities to neighborhood kids. We also partner with other groups to do research and make positive environmental change. You can help us continue our work by choosing to support us on this Giving Tuesday! Sustaining donors are especially needed, but all donations are welcome: https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/ecology-action THANK YOU!
