Thanks Lena!
I did have that one. It is one of the better ones. Once things slow down I will compile the list and send over the link to my site where I will house it. Thanks for the help and if you come across other please feel free to send them over.

New to the group. I'm a Green products wholesaler that also does some design/build and consulting work.
I am in the process of organizing a one stop resource to help people find way to learn about grant money associated with sustainability and sustainable developments. Anyone have any clues where to look? I have found some as I am compiling this list. One would figure there would be a site out there that has already done this. Any help is appreciated and if anyone has any questions please let me know.

Hello there !! I have a property at Gladstone and Michigan St. Located on the east side of Indy and would like to find out if anyone would know of a nursery who might be willing to giving a discount or a donation of some peach or apple trees to plant for a green space. I have an idea of letting the neighbors to be able to get some type of fresh fruit! If you have any suggestions please let me know ! THANK YOU!!

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
