Welcome to Enviro Events

Enviro Events aims to be a clearinghouse for environmental events (protests, conferences, conventions, festivals, and gatherings) from around the world.  The events can be large or small, planned on a whim or with large-scale logistics in place, and local or global in scale.  The aim is to facilitate individuals and groups in knowing what is going on with the environmental community in other areas of the world.  Hopefully this can facilitate the sharing of ideas and resources among the environmental community.  If you have an event you would like me to post on feel free to contact me about it or, if you're really anxious, post it in the comments section.
