3. Are there any green group sin my area, or should I start one myself?
You can start one yourself of course, even if there are other groups in your area already. A good start would be to do a search online for “Green Groups” in your area, online. See what comes up. If nothing is in your area. Contact another Green Group and see how you can go about starting your own.
