City of Russellville goes green!


Kudos goes out to the City of Russellville for their progressive actions towards environmental stewardship. They purchased 10 rain barrels which they will be positioning throughout the city to collect and conserve rainwater runoff. In addition, they are planning renovations to a local building to become their new fire station, incorporating solar panels and rooftop garden designs. Plus they are working cooperatively with the Sierra Club in designing rain gardens for the local schools. If only more cities were as progressive as Russellville in incorporating sustainability in their downtown redevelopment!
