Since the beginning, our mission at Go Green Glen Ellyn has been to help Glen Ellyn residents and businesses be greener.  We've done that through education, advocacy, and events.  This week we are sharing the success of other community members and organizations in making their events "Go Greener!"  You can learn and try some ideas at your next gathering!  Plus, we will share what we are doing to make the Taste of Glen Ellyn the greenest ever!

Thank you Glen Ellyn, SportSwap number 6 is a wrap! The stats are in — and we have compiled all 6 of our SportSwap results so you can see your impact! Think of the almost 1000 balls and 500 pairs of cleats still in play! And the hundreds of children in Zambia utilizing Glen Ellyn donated soccer equipment, shoes and leggings!

Our next SportSwap will be in the spring, 2025. Stay tuned for more information!

Here’s how it works!
