Welcome to the City of Greeley Environment portal! It provides a quick overview of green programs and issues in our community as well as links to more information. In case you didn't know, there is a growing movement in our fair city to keep the air and water clean, conserve water and energy, and reduce, reuse and recycle our waste!
Just like when you drop your coins in the jar every day, each small environmental change we make eventually adds up to big benefits for our community. For example, watering our lawns less during the spring and summer adds up to thousands of gallons a year. Less time in our cars keeps our air cleaner so we can enjoy being outside in our parks and on our trails. And planting trees, recycling and conserving energy are all parts of the puzzle that make a beautiful picture of “home” here in Greeley.
So have fun surfing our site, but before you do, leave your email address in the comment box below to request Environews, a quarterly e-newsletter with up-to-date info and environmental stewardship tips. Remember, we need your help keeping “Greeley. Great. From the Ground Up!”

Energy |
 |
Not only is it essential to our survival, the plants and animals we rely on for food need water to live too, so it pays to conserve. |
 |
Oil, gas and coal have gotten us this far, but as they run out, we have to learn to conserve and use more renewable resources. |

Trash doesn't just disappear when the truck comes every week, so remember the three Rs: reuse, reduce and recycle. |
