Almost one year ago (May 6th) we reported on this blog that a mid-west town was turning tragedy into opportunity. The town of Greensburg, Kansas decided that a devastating tornado was a golden opportunity to create fundamental eco-friendly initiatives as they began rebuilding their town. Keeping true to their new slogan, Better, Stronger, Greener is not always easy. In support of this new venture, the town plans to establish itself as a center for eco-friendly technologies and manufacturing.Not only is it the town that is making these changes, but businesses, families and individuals are contributing to the efforts needed to move forward in support of the environmental sustainability initiatives.
We should all applaud efforts such as these because it requires a great deal of commitment and trust in these green concepts to move forward in such a grand fashion. How many of you would find implementing and integrating green initiatives in your company or in your family an easy thing to move forward with? Hopefully we will hear more stories of success coming from Greensburg so that we can all have examples of what is possible for everyone!
