It Takes a Village

If we want to see real change, we need everyone to work together. Whether it's voting for local candidates who are interested in climate action or signing petitions in support of green legislation, you can make a world of difference.

A Cleaner Future

When you imagine the future of Downers Grove, what would you like to see? Recycling and compost bins downtown? Electric car charging stations? No more styrofoam takeout containers? More green space? A zero waste store? The possibilities are endless. We want to hear from you!

Green Resources
