An economic and environmental action plan for Denver's future

In his State of the City address on July 12, 2006, Mayor Hickenlooper
announced a long-term, citywide initiative called Greenprint Denver to promote the importance of
sustainable development and ecologically-friendly practices throughout the
community. With a comprehensive action plan, the city aims to integrate
environmental impact considerations into its programs and policies.
Participation from the community is vital for the city to meet a series of goals
over the next five years.

Greenprint Denver outlines the following action items:

• Reduce Greenhouse Emissions
• Increase City Forest Coverage
• Reduce Waste
• Utilize Renewable Energies
• Increase Green Built Affordable Housing
• Implement City Green Building Policy
• Expand City’s Green Motor Fleet
• Promote and Leverage Mass Transit
