Greening Denver

It's a Wrap!

Whew! Great job, everyone! What's next? Right now, we're completing our carbon footprint analysis, a final comprehensive report, and a sustainable events guidebook. Meanwhile, we're working with Greenprint Denver to transition convention projects into legacy programs. Please check back soon for updates.

A Green Convention

Our goal was to make this the greenest convention in history. Our mission is to build a long-lasting green legacy that will thrive in our community and around the world. What does it take to do this? Lots of coordination and hard work from dedicated staff, volunteers and partners! We're working on setting green standards for events, completing environmental improvements at city facilities, setting up recycling areas, partnering with local restaurants and venues for healthy options, tracking and offsetting carbon emissions, and much more.

Green Teams

Ten Green Teams are focusing on specific areas of sustainability including: business outreach, city facilities, greening events, resource recovery, transportation, new energy, water, lean & green, carbon, and communications. Learn more...
