What is San Antonio Sustainable Living?

Since 1995, in our monthly meetings and other events we've heard from people knowledgeable in all fields related to green and natural building, rain water collection, organic, native and other water saving landscape techniques, high efficiency heating and cooling, solar and renewable energy.

We're non-political. We neither advocate nor take policy positions as a group. Members include everyone from novices and enthusiasts to experienced architects and builders. Our meetings are free and open to all. Come join us.

Nor is any warranty or claim made as to the completeness or accuracy of the information in this blog. Don’t run with scissors. Ask your doctor if clean water is right for you. Side effects include aging, realizing you don’t know as much as you think you did, forgetting where you placed your car keys, and something else that has slipped my mind for now. Yada, yada, yada.
