Jim Goering, City Commissioner for North Newton, “Green Initiatives in North Newton”, that he presented at the 2009 Regional Energy Conference in Wichita last month. North Newton recently completed construction of a “Green City Hall” as well as some other environmentally friendly initiatives. They have promoted homeowner use of CFL's, funded greenspace tree planting (up to 75.00), and distributed 1000 canvas shopping bags in a privately funded attempt to clean up the plastic bag mess. Just a start, but it helps!
