My Current Event Blog Yellow Science :)

In Greenburg, Kansas on May 4, 2007 a terrifying tornado killed eleven people and caused Greenburg to face the challenge to rebuild everything from scratch. Two years later (2009), Greenburg decided to give their name a purpose by becoming a green community of the future. City leaders are using solar and wind technologies to control power and geothermal heat. They are also saving energy by constucting with solid concrete, using more natural light, and putting better filling and state-of-the-art windows. In my opinion, I think that becoming a green community is a great way to help our environment and hopefully Greenburg won't be the only place with a green community in the future. Lastly, because they became a green community, they came up with a slogan on the home page of their website that says, " Greenburg: Better, Stronger, Greener!" ~Vikinggirl15
