Green Gettysburg has lived on Facebook for several years now, “a forum for exchange of information, announcements, links and likes on topics related to environmental issues of all kinds.”  But lately, we have also begun to live a new life out in the community both as the Green Gettysburg Book Club, which meets weekly on Zoom, and as an exploratory committee considering options for affiliation at the regional and state level.  

Green Gettysburg is focused on four areas:

• Supporting the work of existing environmental groups in our area and helping to build a sense of shared community among them

• Practical problem solving on issues such as recycling, water quality, and care for the land

• Educating ourselves and others as advocates on environmental issues

• Advocating for government action on climate change and related issues.

To be effective in reaching out to new constituencies,  Green Gettysburg strives to be nonpartisan and open to people who may disagree on some issues while sharing a deep concern about what is happening to our land, our streams, bays, and oceans,  the air we breathe and the natural systems and stable climate we depend on as we live our lives. On the other hand, we also acknowledge our kinship with Gettysburg DFA and other progressive organizations likely to support effective government action on green issues, especially climate change.
