About Us
This site is built by a partnership of the Community Greenhouse Foundation and Longbow Strategic Group. CGF is a 501(c)(3) not for profit that exists to promote sustainability. In 2003, we began working with the foundation, using our firm Longbow, to promote both the foundation and the projects it was working on. Greener living, more sustainable communities and building a brighter future requires more than government or the business world to motivate us. Only when every person understands that what we do today impacts our tomorrow, can we see positive change. We saw the need to communicate, to show people who are making a difference, to reveal examples that we can take and run with. When you see someone doing something better, you start to realize what you can do. And it snowballs.

For this site to mean anything, it requires effort from you. When you share a ‘best practice’ or a better way of doing something, you become part of the solution. The solution for a better tomorrow.

If your business produces a product that saves energy or water, then we need to hear about it. This site exists to share your good news. If you provide a service that makes our world a little better, then we want to tell your story. This little place on the web can help transform Florida’s Space Coast, Brevard County. But we need your voice.

In 2004, Longbow built GreenBrevard.com, hoping to bring what we’d learned about green-building back to our community. In 2005 we launched GreenOrlando.com, and since then we’ve been perfecting the model.

You can support this project by donating to Community Greenhouse Foundation and there’s several ways to do so. As a non profit, your donation is tax deductible. Each donation helps us continue to build this site, and its sisters, as a resource. A resource that connects people with ideas.

You can also sponsor and underwrite our efforts. In return, we place your logo or ad in the Articles section of our site, and use this site to show your efforts.

You can also contribute by sending us articles and stories, or by presenting us a profile on your organization or an interview that talks about how you work to make a difference, to make your community a better place to live in. Please note that we have guidelines and do not publish overtly commercial materials or anything of offensive nature. If it’s relative to our mission, we consider it.

If you live in a different part of Florida or the United States, we are interested in reaching out and building a network of similar sites that share content and spread best practices. For more information, visit the Community Greenhouse Foundation site and contact us.

Thank you for your interest and support. We look forward to helping be a part of the solution for a brighter tomorrow.
