Colorado Business Alliance of Sustainable Business Associations (CASBA)

Green Action Plans

As part of CASBA and in coordination with Greenprint Denver and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Environmental Leadership Program, ACE volunteered its services to help develop green action plans for general businesses. The green actions plans were used at workshops that provided companies with the tools to create a list of actions to start their own path to sustainability.

Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)

Greening Government Research Project

 ACE worked with several divisions of CDOT to identify preliminary action steps that would need to be implemented to achieve the goals in Governor Ritter's executive order on greening state government by 2012.  ACE also developed an implementation plan that recommended green action steps pertaining to the recent greening requirements as well as previously enacted state agency greening requirements.

Specifically, the project focused on developing an action plan to reduce consumption of energy, water, and paper as well as petroleum use in state vehicles. This project was performed as a subcontractor.
