Illinois Green Alliance is one of the few forums in Illinois that actively promote and educate citizens and other interested stakeholders about issues of sustainability.  With a focus on social justice, climate change and opportunities to reduce and transform our energy consumption, Illinois Green is open to all, and works hard to bring timely issues to participatory forums. By working with the Programs Committee, I feel I can add to the dialogue and provide suggestions on topics and issues that may be ignored or little recognized in other educational forums. It is all about making a difference, and I feel I can do that volunteering for Illinois Green.
