The following is a press statement from Matt Baker, Executive Director of Environment Colorado:
“Since 1990, Colorado
has taken no serious action to deal with Climate Change. In that time
our global warming pollution has increased by 39%, making us the fifth
fastest growing source of global warming pollution in the country.
“Heidi
VanGenderen is a great choice as the Governor’s climate change policy
advisor. She has long recognized the high cost of inaction to stem
Global Warming on Colorado’s water, people and economy. She is an advocate for solutions that protect the climate and strengthen our economy.”
Environment Colorado focuses on protecting air and water quality, promoting a sustainable energy policy, implementing transit oriented solutions to Colorado's transportation problems and curbing sprawl by promoting responsible land use planning. Environment Colorado utilizes the time-tested tools of research, public education, advocacy and organizing.
