HAPPY EARTH DAY! This is the www.greenwichita.org website and now a new GREEN Wichita Blog. It just seemed fitting to jump start it today as a way to celebrate.  

INTRODUCTION:
My name is Kay Johnson, Manager of Environmental Initiatives for the City of Wichita. As a college student, I started working in the environmental field in 1976 (Water Resources Board for the State of Oklahoma) and I’m proud to say it has been my profession ever since.  This site isn’t about the City of Wichita but information will be included about the City programs and activities. The purpose of the website and blog is to spread the word about environmental resources, actions and ideas that citizens, businesses and governments are doing or things that can be easily done to protect and improve our quality of life beginning with the environment. From time to time, others will write the blog and others will be interviewed.
