Aspen ZGree><i
Taking Action Today for a Greener Tomorrow
The ZGreen Program is amulti-pronged program designed to reduce the environmental impact of
Aspen's residents, businesses, and events. This unique program provides tangible ways to
minimize environmental impacts and offers the option for carbon neutrality through the local
Canary Tag carbon offset program.
Whether you live in Aspen, or are just visiting, the ZGreen Program can help you do your part to
reduce Aspen's contribution to global warming.

~.~.~.ti~. The Citizen Program lays out a guideline for green living and creates a network for
citizens who want to be proactive in their lifestyles. While education is a key component, the
program goes beyond awareness by enabling each individual to track and reduce home energy
use, water use, and air pollution. In order to become a ZGreen Citizen, participants must commit
to taking 5 new actions to reduce their environmental footprint. Once citizens have committed to
taking action they are offered the option to offset the remainder of their carbon footprint.
Throughout the year ZGreen Citizens will receive green tips, updates and event information from
the City to keep them involved as active environmental citizens.

~~~~~~~ The Business Program certifies and acknowledges those businesses that are
committed to creating a healthy environment by reducing their energy use, air pollution, and
water consumption. It also requires each business to fill out and submit an Energy Tracker - a
spreadsheet that tracks the business's energy use for a year. The Energy Tracker allows
businesses to see how much energy is being used, where best to target energy efficiency
measures, and finally how much they would need to offset to be carbon neutral. Lastly, the
certification and public recognition of the ZGreen Business program rewards the participating
businesses through positive press, increased marketing exposure, and demonstrated community
leadership.

~.~.n....~. The Events Program works with internal and community events and meetings to
help these events reduce energy use, air pollution, and waste generation. Like the business
program, events must also achieve certification by implementing green meeting practices.
Greening an event is also an effective way "in" to businesses and organizations and thus can act
as a first step in greening their entire business operation.
he Canary Tag Program is the first municipal government carbon offset program in the
United States. Canary Tags is a voluntary offset program that works to create investment in
carbon mitigation and capture technologies as well as renewable energy and efficiency projects in
our regional community. Each Canary Tag represents an investment that offsets one ton of
carbon dioxide equivalent.
