About Green Community Connections Network: Green Community Connections is a network of organizations and individuals passionate about building a sustainable and resilient community. This network grew out of the Green Community Connections – Forum for Sustainability Advocates that was held in September, 2010.
Long-term goals of the Green Community Connections network include:
- facilitate communication and education regarding environmental sustainability
- promote the green initiatives of organizations and institutions in the community
- work with Village and local institutions to initiate and support green policies
- help develop and implement a strong sustainability plan for our area
- participate in and help enhance the growth of the spirit of “Community” in our area
Currently the primary focus of the Green Community Connections network is to develop a communications web for community green initiatives, and to actively support the development of the PlanItGreen Sustainability Plan for Oak Park and River Forest.
