Right after the Huricane
New Greensburg: Stronger, Better, Greener!
At 9:45 pm on May 4th, 2007 an EF5 tornado leveled the rural town of Greensburg, Kansas. Just days after the storm, the community came together and decided to rebuild sustainably, striving to become a model green town for the future.
The story of Greensburg, is one of determination and sheer will -- of residents who wouldn't and won't let their town die in the wake of a ferocious, massive tornado that laid waste to it on May 4, 2007.
The locals refuse to give up on themselves, or their community.
They are rebuilding.
As residents put the pieces of their lives, and Greensburg itself, back together, they're keeping an eye on the environment, determined to make theirs the greenest town in the land.
It's a story that deserves you attention and we should all keep up with it.
Below are some interesting links to keep you updated on their Green journey.
