🎙 A Tornado Destroyed Greensburg So They Rebuilt as America’s Greenest Town - Hope
Is My Middle Name, Season 4, Episode 7

Growing up on a farm in Kansas, Bob Dixson never dreamed of being mayor. But when a tornado leveled 95% of his small town he came out of retirement and into rebuilding from the rubble, a thriving climate resilient community. Today Greensburg is America’s greenest town, powered entirely by renewable energy with smart infrastructure for water conservation, and the most LEED-certified buildings per capita in the US.

Hear the story of Greensburg, as Bob tells it, from the night the tornado took the roof off his house, to the example it is today of resilience, small town values, good ol’ Midwest pragmatism, and hope.
