echotown in our town
a rather disappointing dinner out turned upward for me at the checkout. as my husband paid for our not-so-great tamales, i noticed on the counter a “green map” of san antonio. i was intrigued! the brochure held a list of restaurants, services, organizations, and properties all aimed at keeping life local, sustainable, and “green.” a visit to the website revealed an open-source social network, links to local “green” discounts, and a list of independent, sustainable businesses that grows every day (no pun intended). echotown has done a great service putting all this information in one place. the next time you are in need of a dry cleaner, organic pest control, haircut, auto glass repair, or are even just looking for a more “green” restaurant for your date night, check out echotown.net – i know i will! as their slogan states, “go local, go green, tell everyone!”
