• Veggie Lunch
  • Held at the ECM every Thursday 11:00 - 1:00. The food goes fast, so get there early! Promotes community and environmental awareness. You'll probably hear about an awesome event and meet your best friend.
• Environs meetings
  • Held every Wednesday night at 5:30pm. Get updated and get involved in what we're planning.
• Farmer's Market
  • Buying local and organic food cuts down on "food miles," the distance food has to travel to get to your plate, reduces energy and resources used, cuts down on ecologically-sensitive pesticides, stimulates the local economy, and is a fun way to reconnect you with the food you eat.
    • Saturdays 7:00am – 11: 00am
      Between 8th and 9th on New Hampshire
    • Tuesdays/Thursdays 4:00pm – 6:00pm
      Between 10th and 11th on Vermont

• Critical Mass
  • What is that huge group of cyclist doing on the road? Promoting bicycle awareness! This event meets at Wescoe beach once a month, typically the last Friday.

• Recycalusa
  • Yearly recycling effort to help alleviate waste at the Wakarusa Music Festival. Environs always has a big number of volunteers (and it's not just for the free tickets).
• Earth Day
  • Environs manages Lawrence's Earth Day Parade which usually includes floats, paraders, and a lot of bikes. It ends with a fair at South Park.
• Energy Fair
• Prairie Festival at the Land Institute
