Coming back from destruction caused by nature, by being kind to it.
We are proud to be among the Partners & Sponsors of the Greensburg GreenTown Project. This is a very admirable endeavor rebuilding a small American town following a horrific tornado. We gifted the families of Greensburg with E-cloth products to help them in their pursuit of making their little town a model green community for the world to follow.
Background
At 9:45 pm on May 4th, 2007 an EF5 tornado leveled the rural town of Greensburg, Kansas. Just days after the storm, the community came together and decided to rebuild sustainably, striving to become a model green town for the future. Ever since this landmark commitment was made, Greensburg GreenTown – a grassroots community-based organization – has worked side-by-side with city and county officials, business owners and local residents to incorporate sustainable principles into their rebuilding process.
Vision
Greensburg GreenTown is a Kansas-based nonprofit organization, providing inspiration and leadership to Kiowa County in order to be a model of sustainable living for the world.
“We serve as an educational resource for the community, a conduit through which donations can be distributed, and a representative to those outside the community who are interested in the Green Initiative.”
Greensburg GreenTown exists to:
- Make it easier for residents to ascribe to, and adhere to, green practices and to make green living appealing to residents.
- Engage as many residents as possible in the enthusiastic pursuit of making Greensburg a model green community.
- Establish incentives in order to maximize the participation of businesses and residents in rebuilding Greensburg as a model green community.
- Bring in resources and support from around the country to make the dreams of Greensburg as a model green community a reality.
- Make it easier for builders, building supply companies and all local businesses to do business as green as possible.
- Work to spur economic development with a green emphasis.
- Serve the residents in an unbiased consumer advocate capacity, striving to get them the best value for their money as they rebuild their homes and businesses.
Program Plan
Programs undertaken by Greensburg GreenTown are in service to the mission of providing the residents of Greensburg, Kansas and the surrounding area with the resources, information and support they need to rebuild Greensburg as a model green community. Greensburg GreenTown is a grassroots community owned organization that represents the townspeople as Greensburg rebuilds in a sustainable fashion.

Recently we received this email from a Greensburg resident. Included with her comments on our product, Mitzi included these words...
To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. When God takes something from your grasp, He's opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.
"I am one of the people that received a free sample of the E-clothes in Greensburg I can't say enough good things about them. It is all that I use in my house. I have ordered several more for family and friends. I would really hope that more folks will use them, as they really do save on other cleaning supplies. Thanks again for giving us a chance to try your products."

“Can't tell you how much I have loved using all your cleaning aids, and without chemicals how much better can this be. A safer environment is what we all strive for and you make it possible. Thank you.”
