I LOVE good stories! I saw this story on the national news tonight and applauded. In May, Greensburg, KS was pretty much scrapped off the map (literally) by a mile and a half wide tornado. There’s about 5-10% of the town left. Of the 1,500 residents, about half remain in trailers. Ten people died.

But… they’re rebuilding. And… how cool are they?!… they’re rebuilding “GREEN.”

Greensburg, Kansas was a Tree City USA. The trees are now gone. But rebuilding and replanting “green” is going to make this city come back together in more ways than anyone can imagine.

Trees will take time to grow, but they’re going to do more than plant trees, they’re rebuilding the town! The people in charge – at this point that means about everyone! –  are taking advantage of the towns name “Greensburg” and rebuild “green”.

“Bold new ideas are taking shape here. Greensburg is thinking green,

seeking to rebuild the town as a showcase of environmentally responsible living.”

Have you ever had to rebuild your life? I have. A couple of times.
