Meet the town people of Greensburg and hear their first hand accounts of how they survived one of the largest tornados in U.S. history. With a clean slate the town decides to rebuild the entire community energy efficiently and as green as possible. Watch every week as Planet Green chronicles the town's journey of personal stories and the rebuilding of a Midwest farming town on the decline into a sustainable model of eco-living.

Four months after a tornado wiped out the town of Greensburg, the 1400 residents have no homes to come back to, only FEMA trailers. The residents try to boost their home town spirit with a homecoming parade and football game. The town must be rebuilt from the ground up and City Administrator Steve Hewitt hires an architectural firm to come up a blueprint for the sustainable town, a master plan. World renowned environmentalist John Picard invites some of the high school kids to a Greenbuild Conference in Chicago and opens their eyes to life off the grid.

The rebuilding of Greensburg is slow going. With little money and scarce materials the town struggles to not only come back but build back greener and stronger. Despite the many obstacles, buildings are going up and Steve Hewitt, city administrator, pushes the city council to make a historic decision that could catapult Greensburg into the record books as the greenest city on earth.

It's Christmas in Greensburg and an ice storm has swept over the town, stopping rebuilding and giving the residents another challenge to overcome. Communication is as frozen as the trees on Main Street and the townspeople don't feel connected to what's happening. Businesses are clamoring for spaces in the downtown incubator. Something has to be done, so the first town hall meeting since the tornado is called. All that Greensburg wants for Christmas is their town back.
