BE GREEN 2

Each of our actions affects the whole of interconnected life in Eastern Iowa.

Every day decisions: what we do, what we consume, where we buy, how we choose to live, what values we hold and promote define our community.

BE GREEN 2! is an ongoing effort of the KGAN staff and its community partners to enlighten and encourage Eastern Iowans to make greener, more sustainable choices. Progress, not perfection, is our goal. We invite you to join in this important effort!
