Welcome to the Fall 2013 issue of GreenList! My name is Ben Evans, and I'm the new guy - humbled and honored that Carole and Andy Wolak have entrusted me with continuing to nurture and grow this little treasure they've created. As a local environmental activist, artist, and educator, I've been a big fan of (and occasional contributor to) GreenList for the last five years. It has proven to be a priceless resource for digging into the local network of compassionate, caring people, organizations, and businesses that make Louisville truly remarkable.

Fall is a season of bounty, and, as we explore in this issue, nothing feeds the body, mind, and spirit quite like our fine city's fall festivities. That's worth some thanksgiving. And, in the spirit of gratefulness, since you’re holding this publication in your hand, I’d like to thank you for all you do on behalf of this community and our dear planet. You are the lifeblood of our city, and your continued support of GreenList and the local green businesses, organizations, individuals, and initiatives contained in the following pages is invaluable. As we move forward and evolve, I am excited for the opportunity to explore new content, a fresh format, expanded online interaction, and other ways to make GreenList even more vital for the region. My hope is that GreenList can help cultivate a truly local, living economy in a way that engages, informs, and entertains.

I welcome your ideas and look forward to working together to make GreenList as timely, innovative, and useful a resource for our community as it can possibly be. I hope you'll continue to support and share this unique, essential part of what makes Louisville such a wonderful place to call home!

with gratitude,

Ben Evans

9th District Green Triangle

9th District residents are invited to participate.

The Green Triangle is the 9th District’s community-led sustainability initiative in which residents, businesses, and government are working together to connect people to build community, learn about green issues, and create a more sustainable future. The 9th District encompasses Crescent Hill, Clifton, Clifton Heights, and parts of St. Matthews, Butchertown, and Irish Hill.

Visit the Green Triangle website at www.mygreentriangle.com to track your progress towards sustainability. Create a profile, view a community map of green resources, and see how your results compare to others. If you are part of an organization working on sustainability please share these new website features with your members – we’d love to hear from as many people as possible to help us quantify the great work that our community is doing. On the website you can see what green steps your neighbors are taking and network with them through the community map that shows rain barrels, vegetable gardens, composting, and more. You’ll see exciting totals of the green steps that the 9th District is taking, such as gas saved through walking and biking, electricity saved through the use of CFL light bulbs, and water saved through low flow toilets.

Post events on the Green Triangle calendar.

Add an organization to the Green Triangle’s Resource Center by emailing katie.holmes@louisvilleky.gov.

Add a sustainability success story to the Green Triangle website.

We are also working to connect with sustainability-related groups in town to see how we can help promote organizations and help others become involved in the Green Triangle. If there are ways that the Green Triangle can connect with an organization, we’d love to explore it. For more information you can contact Katie Holmes at katie.holmes@louisvilleky.gov or 574-1109
