Welcome to the KFOG Green Page!
KFOG strives to minimize the environmental impact of our events. For the last 3 years, KFOG KaBoom has been carbon-neutral, and in 2009, over half of the event waste was recycled or composted.
We want to share this environmental message with Fogheads through the Green Page, which is updated frequently with green tips, upcoming events, and more.
