"Green" may very well be the buzzword of the year, but local Greener Milwaukee is proving to be no passing trend.
In addition to proposing "greener" environmental practices, Greener Milwaukee urges residents and businesses to consider sustainable practices focused on Fair Trade business, social justice and organic production.
Acting as a forum for discussion on everything environmental from transportation and food policy to wind energy and biodiesel, Greener Milwaukee invites members to bring community ideas and initiatives along with varied perspectives to the table.
Hosting two events per month, Greener Milwaukee kicks off May's activities this week with a benefit for Growing Power Farms at Café Luna on the riverfront.
Join Greener Milwaukee and members from Growing Power for drinks and networking Thursday night starting at 7 p.m. Then, expand your interest and knowledge with a tour of Growing Power Farm on Saturday from 2-4 p.m.
OnMilwaukee.com staff writer Maureen Post grew up in Wauwatosa. A lover of international and urban culture, Maureen received a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
After living on the east side of Madison for several years, Maureen returned to Milwaukee in 2006.
After a brief stint of travel, Maureen joined OnMilwaukee.com as the city’s oldest intern and has been hooked ever since. Combining her three key infatuations, Milwaukee’s great music, incredible food and inspiring art (and yes, in that order), Maureen’s job just about fits her perfectly.
Residing in Bay View, Maureen vehemently believes the city can become fresh and new with a simple move across town.
