Baltimore Green Works (BGW) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to support environmental efforts that better the quality of life in Baltimore. BGW does this by convening forums for education, dialogue and the exchange of ideas, fostering partnerships with and between individuals and organizations that share our vision and by providing tools for communication and collaboration.  For more information, visit http://baltimoregreenworks.com

Baltimore Green Works offers the public opportunity to be informed about environmental issues and best sustainable practices by connecting community members with the resources available in and around Baltimore as well as local and nationally known speakers and educators.  In providing this information, BGW puts a lot of effort into connecting the various topics (green  building, transportation, climate change, conservation, etc...) in an effort to show the holistic picture.

Baltimore's Green Resource Guide, a web based resource guide that connects community members with local businesses who offer sustainable products and services (free for participants and users.)

Baltimore's Green Community Calendar, a web based calendar set up to capture local, environmentally focused events.

Baltimore Green Week, BGW hosts this week-long series of events where organizations, businesses, neighborhood groups, schools and government agencies come together to talk about what is happening on a local level to make Baltimore the most sustainable city! EcoFest kicks off the week with over 100 vendors and exhibitors along with hands-on workshops and activities for the whole family in Druid Hill Park. Try your hand at yoga, bike riding, bee keeping or just swing by for a delicious Chipotle taco or Propa Falafel pita. If you can't make it on Saturday, check the schedule online to participate in any one of the free and low lost lectures and workshops happening throughout the week.

Sustainable Speaker Series, 3-4 times a year BGW invites nationally known leaders to discuss current issues and successes happening on the planet while making local connections back to our city, state and region.  We have had the great pleasure in hosting Michael Pollan, Will Allen, Novella Carpenter, Paul Greenberg, Chuck Fox and former Senator, Gerald Winegrad to the stage.  We look forward to making sure that Maryland is a continued participant in the overall discussion and to working with so many great leaders in the industry.

We serve all communities in and around Baltimore City. Our goals are to increase environmental awareness, promote sustainable living and connect community members with the information they need to make informed decisions each day.

Your sponsorship is what keeps Baltimore Green Works viable.  Started by regional volunteers, it remains a volunteer-driven organization. Its purpose is to increase awareness about how local residents can make the Baltimore region cleaner and environmentally safer for all who live and work here.
