Greening Government
The daily activities of state government have a significant impact on the quality of Colorado’s public health, environment and use of its natural resources.
In April, 2007 Governor Bill Ritter, Jr., signed the Greening of State Government Executive Orders D011 07 and D012 07. These orders direct state government to achieve these goals by June 30, 2012.
- 20% reduction in energy use
- 20% reduction in paper use
- 10% reduction in water consumption
- 25% volumetric reduction in state vehicle petroleum consumption
Each state department and campus will create a sustainability management system to track and report their greening government performance.
