Last May, the small Kansas town of Greensburg was almost demolished by an EF-5 tornado.  Twelve of their residents died and 95% of the community’s structures were lost. 

This May we see that the small town is “rebuilding as a model green community, focusing on energy self-sufficiency and other principles of sustainability, with the aim to become the greenest community in America”. -  Excerpt from www.GreensburgGreenTown.org.
