Community Resources
There is a lot happening with sustainabilty in Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region. There are numerous organizations and groups, representing business, military, academic, and non-profit sectors, that are trying to make our community more sustainable. Learn more about these organizations to help make our community a better place to live for everyone.
Pikes Peak Sustainable Business Network (PPSBN) is a program of the Catamount Institute. PPSBN is the nexus for networking, information, resources, and tools as it relates to sustainable business practices in the entire Pikes Peak region. The Pikes Peak region needs a single point of entry/contact for sustainability issues as it relates to business. It is a membership network of professionals and businesses that support sustainable business practices and the need for these practices.
The purpose of the Green Cities Coalition is to promote ecologically, economically and socially healthy cities in El Paso County, for the benefit of present and future residents of the Pikes Peak region. We envision healthy, equitable and sustainable communities, both human and natural. There are working groups on a variety of topics: energy, water, food, transit, recycling, schools, government, faith, and business.
Fort Carson embraces sustainability as a partnership between our present and our future. The Sustainability and Environmental Management System (SEMS) is not just an environmental program, and its impact will go beyond the fence line of Fort Carson. It is a system that will drive sustainability performance by making sustainable actions and thinking a part of everyone's daily job responsibilities.
We aspire to make Colorado College a model for campus and community sustainability. Leading by example, we will take bold, achievable steps toward sustainability. We begin here at home, while building partnerships in our extended neighborhood and engaging fully with our interconnected world. We honor Colorado College's commitment to nuture a sense of place and an ethic of environmental sustainability.
The Southeast Colorado Renewable Energy Society (SECRES) is a chapter of CRES whose members come from Pueblo, the Pikes Peak region, Colorado Springs, and the southeast region of Colorado. SECRES was founded to advocate and educate regarding renewable energy, and to provide a forum for people interested in solar and renewable energy issues in southeast Colorado.
The Pikes Peak Justice and Peace Commission is a community-based organization grounded in principles of nonviolence, solidarity with the poor and oppressed, sustainable living and social and economic justice. We engage our community as partners in creating systemic change on local, national and global issues by educating, organizing and nurturing a world of justice and peace.
Transition Colorado is an informal networking site for those interested in exploring and/or implementing the transition model in Colorado communities. This site is being created through grassroots participation, and is continually evolving. It is a spontaneously arising effort to connect interested "transitioners" with each other and to encourage and support the development of local Transition Initiatives.
