If you've been glued to the tube watching the amazing eco-movement in Greensburg, Kansas, you may have encountered some confusion around the town's name. Is it Greensburg or Greentown? Don't fret, because the answer to your burning question about the name is right here! Greensburg Greentown is actually the name of the non-profit organization which funds many of the eco-initiatives in Greensburg. Because Greentown is inextricably tied to the mission and values of Greensburg and vice versa, it is sometimes referenced as Greentown.

In an effort to keep Greensburg on the right path, Greentown staff and volunteers spend their days raising funds for new and established eco-friendly community projects, educating residents on green living, and reaching out to people in the surrounding areas. Additionally, they coordinate local events to support their planet positive lifestyle. So whether you decide to call it Greentown or Greensburg or Greensburg Greentown, just know the vision is still the same – people living in harmony with the environment.
