Living Green is a program within Spokane Neighborhood Action Programs, a non-profit community action agency that serves
low-income and vulnerable people in Spokane. The Living Green Program grew out of the Conservation Education Program, Housing Improvements
Division of SNAP. Living Green expanded Conservation Education to include more topics, with an emphasis on treading lighter on the
earth and saving money at the sametime. The mission of Living Green is to enable individuals to move towards a more
sustainable lifestyle.
Living Green’s primary method of educating the community is through Home Gatherings and Community
Classes, held at various locations around Spokane (such as ECEAP and Head Start meetings, Community Centers, and libraries). Our program
greatly depends on committed volunteers who serve as Community Educators, taking the message of Living Green to their community.
We also depend on concerned citizens, parents, students, and others, who open up their homes and host a Living Green Home Gathering.
Home Gahterings provide the perfect setting to learn about the wide range of sustainability issues and to engage in a stimulating
discussion. Living Green Home Gahterings are fun, unique and informative.
If you've begun to wonder about
the future of food, the future of energy, and the future of the environment, invite this grassroots program to your home and
we will bring all we know about Living Green. Learn how you can cut back on energy and water consumption, alter your transportation
and buying habits, make your own non-toxic household cleaners, and learn how to compost and recycling to lower your garbage bill.
Participants come from all income levels, but low-income attendees receive an energy kit filled with energy-saving goodies for free.
