Beth Drucker and Kim Stone, founders and co-facilitators of Go Green Illinois, will show you why your community would benefit from a citizen’s sustainability group and how to start one today. Learn how suburbs all over Chicagoland have started groups with just a few people and limited funding. Beth and Kim will review the history of Go Green Illinois and share some of the many successes and challenges of member groups, and how regional collaboration helps us have a greater impact.
KT Peterson of Go Green Des Plaines will provide examples of some of the ways her group has made progress in just two years since they were founded.
You’ll leave with a clear idea of what steps to take to become the next Go Green group.
