2009 Priorities
Each year conservation leaders work together to form a Common Agenda. These are specific policy areas that the community as a whole agrees are priorities. In 2009, the conservation community prioritized a Colorado Clean energy agenda promoting clean energy policies that will create jobs and promote energy independence and calling for protections for our water, wildlife, and communities threatened by the negative impacts of oil and gas drilling. Read more about specific proposals in the Colorado Clean agenda:
Powering our homes with the sun
Making energy efficiency available to all
Creating a modern transportation system
Safe, responsible oil and gas drilling
