And So It Begins

Our forces have teamed up...and the Go Green 573 project is officially off the ground.

The project - in connection with triplepundit.com - will highlight green ventures throughout Columbia, Missouri (and beyond, potentially). Originally, our group (Christy Millweard, Mike Solakian, Chelsea Moosa, Emily Rau and me, Beth Ford) planned on creating a multimedia web project around green businesses. This concept eventually gave way to a new plan: profiling not only green businesses, but green non-profit organizations and green efforts around Mid-Missouri. People who see the project can learn about green businesses and maybe offer their patronage; organizations and efforts can offer ways for Mid-Missourians to get involved with the green scene.

We want to show entities, people, and places that are making the effort to live in environmentally-conscious ways. We want this project to be interactive, meaningful, and foster communication with the community. Finally, we want to come out on the other side of this project alive. We'll see how that one goes.

So, we're starting now. And we're hoping for plenty of community feedback as the project rolls along. Can't wait to show Mid-Missouri why it's not easy being green, but it sure is cool.
