Go Green Illinois was established in the Spring of 2013 to encourage and support the establishment of citizen’s environmental groups in every community in Illinois. Today, there are currently over 30 communities actively participating. Go Green Illinois provides a forum to share best practices among the groups and to collaborate on addressing environmental challenges that cross municipal boundaries.
Presentation topics have included active transportation, electrical aggregation, natural landscape practices, local politics, recycling, stormwater management, community solar, community engagement, food waste, and more. Time at each meeting is allotted to sharing community projects and networking. Here’s an article about some of the work Go Green Illinois has sparked.
Go Green Illinois meets every other month. For more information, sign up for our email list on the homepage or contact Co-Facilitators, Beth Drucker or Kim Stone here. Our virtual meetings are recorded, and videos are posted to the Go Green Illinois You Tube page.
Please note that Go Green Illinois is not a business networking group or a job networking opportunity. It is for people actively engaged in community-based environmental groups and issues.
