Make the World a Greener Place
 Environmental problems — such as global warming — may sometimes seem insurmountable, but when groups of people put their energy together toward a common purpose, progress can be made.

And hey, if there isn’t, why not get some friends together and start one?
Need a little inspiration? One example of the impact people can have working together is GREENRichland, an organization of Richland College staff, faculty and students.
