Green Communities Coalition is a Rockford based non-profit organization serving Northern Illinois dedicated to preserving and improving our environment through positive action.We seek to build a cooperative coalition with partners in the communities where we live. We work with churches, schools, non-profit organizations, government, business or individuals. We collaborate to develop actions designed to improve the environment. Although GCC is not part of the Sierra Club, this effort is undertaken with the support and assistance of the Sierra Club's "Cool Cities" program.
The "Cool Cities" program has already obtained the commitment of over 1,000 mayors of U.S. cities to agree to voluntary efforts at carbon dioxide reduction - side stepping national level debate over climate change and taking positive action now at the community level.
