GO! Green

GO! St. Louis is an organization that promotes and practices green-friendly living. We believe a healthy body works in parallel with a healthy planet, so we strive to provide programs and events that help reduce the carbon footprint of the event, while encouraging participants to make recycling and reusing a priority. A recent participant study indicated that 90% of our participants thought it was very or somewhat important that GO! St. Louis events were environmentally-friendly.
