About BGGreen

About Us

The Bowling Green area and communities throughout south central Kentucky are poised to grow substantially in the coming decades. Our region enjoys abundant natural resources; a mild climate; relatively diverse economy; cultural and historic resources; and traditions of sports, music, hospitality, and charitable giving that make our region an attractive destination for visitors and new residents alike. 
BGGreen Partnership for a Sustainable Community works to promote sustainable practices throughout our communities that will protect our resources, respect and preserve our unique cultural and historical assets, strengthen our economy, build diversity, and create a higher quality of life for all who live here. 

• We seek to build awareness and create tools to encourage communities throughout our region to become more healthy, vibrant, diverse, livable and sustainable. 
• We work with diverse stakeholders including citizens, government, businesses, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations toward our common goals. 
• We strive to increase awareness of personal responsibility and how each person’s lifestyle choices impacts the Earth and other people, today and in the future.
• We promote economic growth that is coupled with environmental stability and fair and just working conditions and opportunities for low income residents. 
• We assert that community voices are important in shaping policy
• We believe that the power of individuals and communities working together will create real and lasting positive change.   

Our members come from many walks of life and may join as individuals, families, businesses, and Green Partners. Green Partners are businesses that place a high value on offering green products and services and also help financially in the printing of the BGGreen Living Directory.  Find out about our Green Partners and other green businesses in the Online Directory. 

In 2009, BGGreen was selected for the Emerging Nonprofit Organization Award given by the WKU Nonprofit Administration Program.
