What We Do
GO GREEN GLEN ELLYN is a community environmental organization with a mission to make it easier for residents and businesses in Glen Ellyn to be greener through education, advocacy and volunteerism.
We educate and advocate on local environmental issues through community events, presentations, written newsletters, social media and our website
We aim to serve the community by providing a hub of information for local environmental resources, and amplify the work of other sustainable organizations and businesses in the community
We provide volunteer opportunities for community focused environmental projects, and help connect residents on new initiatives, serving as a catalyst for community awareness and activation
Our focus areas include:
Nurturing and creating usable green space, at home and in our community
Sustainable use of resources at home and business.
Our Vision (Where are we going?)
We want choosing ‘green’ to become the default option for everyone - understanding what is good for the planet is also good for you, your family, your business and your community!
We envision Glen Ellyn as an ecological role-model for surrounding municipalities by reducing our overall carbon footprint.
Our Mission (How we get there?)
We make it easier for people to make green choices by providing simple and easy-to-understand ways to green your everyday life with small steps.
We make it accessible by hosting a hub for the village for green information, events, volunteer opportunities, etc.
We make it inviting by building a community of engaged individuals and organizations open to the full spectrum of ‘greenness’ - a no-judgment journey toward being greener. And is a catalyst to spark a green movement among GE residents and businesses alike.
Together we can learn, do, and participate in everyday environmental actions that make our community more healthy, more beautiful, and more environmentally friendly for all.
