Best Effort to Improve Austin

TIE: Keep Austin Beautiful, Save Our Springs

Keep Austin clean. And beautiful. Between 'em, your top picks have it covered. One's by land; one's by lake. KAB's been at it since 1985, a nonprofit that doesn't mess with Texas. Litter bugs them. With clean-up, beautification, and education programs, these tree-huggers show Mother Nature the love. On the wetter side, SOS has been working through citizen-powered action to save and preserve Edward's aquifer. Tooth and nail, they've been fighting, bumper sticker after bumper sticker in traffic, the message clear: Save Our Springs. Somebody's gotta.
