Greensboro, MD 

Greensboro, MD is a tiny little town surrounded by fields and nothing.

You must drive over 20 miles to the nearest Walmart. And you will do so because there is nothing else to do.

(Unless you count teenage pregnancy and smoking weed).

There are now TWO stop lights!

The largest club around is the Future Farmers of America.

(And even that is 10 miles out of town).

Everyone knows all of your business.
(And if they don't, they will make something up).
"I'm from Greensboro, MD".
"Where?"
"Nowhere".

Green loving neighbor or Greenbor, a popular catch phrase, has many of us asking why is it important to go green?
