GO GREEN Group
Our mission is to promote sustainability and environmental stewardship through education, community involvement, and practical initiatives
Founded in 2007, the Kentlands Go Green Group has been a driving force behind environmental awareness and sustainable practices in our community. Through education, advocacy, and hands-on initiatives, we work to ensure that Kentlands, local businesses, and surrounding neighborhoods prioritize sustainability and implement eco-friendly practices.
Plogging Initiative
Embracing the Swedish trend of plogging—a combination of jogging and picking up litter—we encourage community members to participate in keeping our neighborhood clean while staying active. Students can visit the Kentlands Clubhouse during working hours to borrow pickup sticks, buckets, and bags for plogging activities.
