About the PPLD Green Team
The Green Team is one of the partner organizations creating the Peak Environment podcast on Studio 809. The PPLD Green team recommends strategies for the library district to embrace and implement sustainable practices. Sustainable practices are those that provide for the long-term viability of economic, human and environmental resources, generally accomplished through reduction, re-use and recycling of consumable goods. The team promotes a culture of sustainability throughout the library district and works to build awareness of responsible environmental stewardship in the Colorado Springs community.
The following environment/sustainability organizations in the Pikes Peak region collaborate to produce the Peak Environment podcast about environmental stewardship, sustainable living and enlightened public policy in the Pikes Peak Region.
Green Cities Coalition
Peak Alliance for a Sustainable Future
