From before its founding over 170 years ago, Austin has attracted outsiders and retained its native citizens due largely to its natural beauty and diverse setting straddling the Texas Hill Country and the Blackland Prairie to the East. But preserving our environmental heritage has never been easy and has always required the committed struggle of the citizenry.

Will Austin remain a green, livable city tomorrow? Only if Austinites take the initiative today to protect our environmental heritage.

Attend the Combined Environmental Mayoral/City Council Forum to learn which candidates are best suited to protect and preserve Austin's environmental inheritance. For further details and to view responses to our candidate questionnaire, please visit http://www.austinenvironment.org
