ACRES OF FOREST LAND ARE CLEARED IN GREATER HOUSTON EVERY YEAR
STOP THE PARKING LOT
The greater Houston area is rapidly being filled with concrete. Development is treated as king with no focus on human and environment-centered design. HOUSTON HAS BECOME ONE GAINT PARKING LOT. THIS MUST END!

RAISING AWARENESS
Most people notice the clearing of large acres of forest to make way for cheap, bulky, and non-human center devepment. Taking notice and sharing your thoughts with others is a great first step.
DEMANDING CHANGE
We see the problem. Houston is covered in concrete. The established development along with the new and rapid projected growth threatens to further strip our region's natural ecosystem for the benefit of cheap development.
Building A Community
Discover, explore, play, and live in the community you call home alongside fellow citizens who care to take care of it. We all want development that puts the needs of real people first.
Why We Are Here?
Let's face it. Greater Houston is not an attractive city. Former Vice President Al Gore supposedly once called it the "ugliest" city in America he's ever been to. And between the endless suburban strip malls, the endless billboards that once famously littered our region's highways, and the huge, ever-expanding roadway infrastructure, it wasn't hard to see why.
​
Houston has made some improvements since those words were spoken. But much of the focus has been within the 610 and not in the middle and lower-income neighborhoods.
Development across our region is treated as king, with little to no regard for a central human instinct. To connect to the environment around us.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of trees get razed, and thousands of gallons of chemicals pollute the natural waterways, lakes, and ponds that are lucky enough to be spared from development.
Houston doesn't have freshly covered snowy alpine mountains. We aren't in a beautiful picturesque Southwestern desert or Pacific Northwest rainforest (although we have both the heat and rain those places have). And we don't have crystal clear blue water with white sandy beaches.
​
We are in a transitional environmental zone where the Gulf Coastal Plain meets the Southeast Texas Piney Woods. The natural beauty of our flat region is found in our surrounding forests, prairies, coastal grasslands, and yes, even the swampy brackish marshes.
​
We are fighting to protect our natural ecosystem from unwise and harmful developmental practices, so it can be enjoyed and connected with for generations to come.
