A major tornado has just passed through and nearly removed your city from the map, what do you do? Well, Greensburg, Kansas decided this would be the perfect time to make their town more green. The efforts of this community have not gone unnoticed. They are now being featured in the National Building Museum. Greensburg along with a handful of other cities are being celebrated for the shift to a green life.
To accomplish the task of being green certified, the town is building all of its public buildings to meet the strict efficiency codes. They are bringing windmills back to the landscape around town and saving water from every rainstorm. This town has made major steps that few can make without starting from scratch. Who knows, though? Maybe if you can get your city to start working at this you could be featured in the next green exhibit at the National Building Museum.
