We did something!

The City of Austin was honored during Monday’s “Do Something Awards” on cable music channel VH1. Hosted by “Glee” star Jane Lynch, the program recognizes the nation’s best world-changers. According to VH1, “the Do Something Award is the premiere national award for social action. Nominees and winners represent the pivotal “do-ers” in their field, cause, or issue.”

Austin was nominated for being “the new frontier for young Americans because of its wealth of new business opportunities. Austin is also leading the nation in car sharing programs and encourages biking as a primary form of transportation.” You can find a complete list of nominees and winners here.

We beat out Portland, Oregon; Greensburg, Kansas; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Boston, Massachusetts. So pat yourself on the back, Austin, then get back to work making the world a better place.
