Green Team

The Green Team is an organization of city staff from various departments that are committed to the sustainable integrity of the City of Steamboat Springs day to day operations with an optimal mix of resource efficiency, cost effectiveness, and employee well being.

We will use a sustainability framework for making decisions and identifying emerging opportunities that contribute to our goal of becoming a sustainable city. We will inspire commitment to this mission from our employees and work with internal departments to further our common goals.

We work to reduce consumption of energy, depletion of resources, contributions to greenhouse gas emissions, air and water pollution, and waste by identifying and sharing opportunities for change. The Green Team encourages use of alternative transportation, sustainable purchasing, and promotes reuse and recycling. We educate and encourage City staff to adopt green policies and practices.

The Green Team is focused on the triple bottom line which takes into account environmental and social performance in addition to financial performance while reducing the City’s carbon footprint.
