A GREEN NOISE IS DEFINED AS "The background noise of the world", a sort of new-age description of ambient noise averaged from several different outdoors locations. In the background of our world is a need to create hope, the kind of hope that revitalizes our community. One that cleans up years of environmental injustice and food insecurity, and makes way for restoration, beatification, food security, economic security and a restored sense of what community looks like when we are collaborating on change.
