There are many ways to help make Wilmette a wonderful environment in which to live and volunteering with Go Green Wilmette is a good place to start! We have opportunities for individuals to have an impact. Or, maybe your school/church youth group is looking to earn service hours. Beach Clean Ups and Habitat workdays are just a couple of ways you can really roll up your sleeves, dig in and make a tangible difference.

Business Partners for a Greener Wilmette
In 2021, the Village of Wilmette approved a Sustainability Plan for our village and part of that plan is to engage with local businesses about ways in which to make every business more sustainable.
This plan dovetails perfectly with the mission of GGW. GGW is offering Wilmette businesses a FREE consultation with our GGW board members on how you might want to make some small but significant changes to your business processes to be more sustainable!
