Advancing Sustainability Through Collaboration
The Alliance for Sustainable Colorado pursues sustainability through program areas that value education, coalition building, and the promotion of sustainable policies and practices. Learn more about our program areas by using the links below.
Alliance Center – A living example of sustainability and collaboration at work
Our historic building (built in 1908) provides below-market rent and operational support to 38 nonprofit organizations all focused on sustainability policies and practices. As the first historic building in the world to receive two LEED certifications (Existing Building Gold and Commercial Interiors Silver) the Alliance Center vividly demonstrates the ease and savings of installing resource efficient features such as low flow toilets, occupancy sensors and renewable materials.
Education & Outreach – Creating relationships that accelerate progress
The Alliance educates on sustainability issues through our extensive statewide sustainability network. Through outreach to organizations and community leaders we aim to better understand sustainability initiatives throughout the state and help move them forward. Two of our main initiatives for advancing sustainability are Regional Councils and Roundtables.
Public Policy – Promoting sound policies that further sustainability
The Alliance advocates for policy change across Colorado by initiating legislation, energizing coalitions, sharing information, and arranging expert testimony to enable widespread change.
