Regular readers of this website know that we have been working with a group of sustainability-minded folks in Joplin since the end of last summer. We've convened a committee that meets monthly, which is hard at work implementing projects to help that community realize its sustainable potential.
Toward that end, we are delighted to share the new GreenTown Joplin website with you. No matter where you live, you'll find resources aplenty related to green building, energy savings, healthful living, and much more.
GreenTown Joplin is also "going public" in a big way this coming week through having a presence at the Expo sponsored by the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce. This year's theme is Remember. Rebuild. Rejoice. Greensburg GreenTown staff members will be on hand, alongside Joplin committee representatives, to introduce the new organization and offer resources to residents and business owners. It has long been a GreenTown goal to share what we have learned in Greensburg with other communities who are recovering from disaster. We are grateful and humbled to see this vision start to come to fruition in Joplin.
Greensburg GreenTown is a charitable nonprofit organization working in Greensburg, Kansas to rebuild the town following the devastating tornado in May of 2007.
