Green Team
Welcome to the KZE Green Team...the spot where we, and our sponsors, help you...and where you can help us make the planet a better, healthier and more sustainable place! Stop by here often and check out our "Green Tips" below. In fact, don't just check them out, put them to use! In fact, don't just put them to use, send us your Green Tips, and we'll post them here too. That's how we use the KZE Green Team to help one another. Plus, listen to the KZE Green Team on the air...it runs 8x daily: M-F at 7:40 am and 7:40 pm and Sat/Sun at 11:20 am and 3:20 pm.
Another way you can help to make the KZE Green Team a success is by patronizing our Green Team sponsors.
