Initiative Objective

GreenTowns is a shared platform with 15,000 individual town networks, over 40 advisors, and nine category pages, where communities around the country, can share their green projects and efforts, not only on their designated town page, but also within a national network.

If green efforts are shared on one platform, so that we can learn from each other and share resources, then we can collectively, hasten sustainability efforts throughout the country.

Please share what you know about local green efforts, so that people in your town know about the great work that is going on. And, people who are interested in specific categories can find green efforts that they care about.

Building blocks for a "green" town include:

Energy - Example of Initiative that is working: Alternative Energy Provider-Choose "Green" Energy.
Food - Example of Initiative that is working: Farmers' Markets
Water - Example of Initiative that is working: Waterkeeper Alliance
Transportation - Example of Initiative that is working: Charging Stations
Land & Conservation - Example of Initiative that is working: Master Gardener Program
Building - Example of Initiative that is working: USGBC
Recycling - Example of Initiative that is working: No Plastic Bags
Connections - Example of Initiative that is working: Green Drinks

Please invite your friends to join their community network and be a part of a national effort to make communities throughout America greener.
