Tornado in Kansas lead to Green Rebuilding

This is a picture of Greensburg, Kansas after a deadly tornado tore through the city May 4, 2007.  It caused massive destruction and much of the community needed to be rebuilt.  In making the plans for reconstruction, the local government decided to recycle what they could and rebuild the community to be as sustainable as possible.  The city has since been reconstructed and the people of Greensburg consider the city to be "Stronger, Better, Greener!" It is very interesting to see the progress that this city has made, and it provides hope for the areas that have been devastated by yesterday's tornado.  Hopefully the cities impacted by yesterday's tornado will also be able to successfully rebuild in a sustainable way.
