At our March 29th meeting we had four great guest speakers! First up was former Broomfield mayor, Karen Stuart, who is now the Executive Director of Smart Commute Metro North, our local transportation management organization. She explained what Smart Commute does, how they're working to reduce GHG emissions, and their summer biking campaign. Next we heard from Alex Heath with the Global Greengrants Fund, one of the leading organizations in the world supporting grassroots-led efforts to protect the planet and the rights of people. Instead of dictating programs from afar, they trust local people to advance solutions and strategies that will best fit their needs, and provide them with the resources to make their ideas a reality. Then, Sonia Klein from The Wilderness Society discussed their 30x30 campaign to protect 30% of U.S. land and water by 2030. She explained the importance of protecting these natural areas and how passing the CORE (Colorado Outdoor Recreation Economy) Act could help Colorado take a giant step towards 30 by 30. Last we heard from Rosie with Eco-Cycle about the Plastic Pollution Reduction Act currently be debated in the Colorado Legislature. This legislation would remove a pre-emption on plastic bans, as well as ban styrofoam and plastic grocery bags. It was a very informative meeting and we hope you enjoy!
