New Energy Colorado New Energy Colorado has deep roots in Colorado’s environmental communities. We organize the annual Metro Denver and Ark Valley Green Homes Tours each year.

We work to provide education on energy issues to citizens as a 501(c)(3) non‐profit organization. For more than 20 years, New Energy Colorado (formerly Golden Earth Days) has conducted its mission of promoting and demonstrating greater environmental awareness and appreciation in the greater Golden area and Colorado through educational and volunteer action-oriented efforts including public outreach, coordinating large and small scale canyon clean-up efforts in Clear Creek Canyon, tree plantings in the Golden area, and ongoing Clear Creek Trail planning. As a Colorado 501(c)3 non-profit, our small yet mighty grassroots organization “walks the talk” when it comes to sustainability. We are proud to be now be partnering with the Golden Sustainability Initiative to increase our community’s awareness of renewable energy and transportation options and to encourage commitment to actively taking part in sustainability. It is now more important than ever for individuals and communities to have fact-based information on how to make responsible energy choices. We hope that this tour, and our other outreach events, will help to that end.

We are very excited for our 3rd Fall Speaker Series talk, from Brad Udall on October 22nd!

Since 2000 the Colorado River has lost 20% of its annual flow, with higher temperatures and precipitation declines to blame. Up to half of this loss has been attributed to human caused warming. Lakes Powell and Mead have lost two-thirds of their volume, are at unprecedented low levels and are nearing deadpool. How did we get here? What river flows and climate might we expect going forward? What solutions might work?

Bradley H. Udall is a Senior Water and Climate Research Scientist / Scholar at Colorado State University’s Colorado Water Center. His expertise includes hydrology and related policy issues of the American West, with a focus on the Colorado River.

The Doyle home is our last home featured on the preview of the Denver Green Homes Tour that is happening this Saturday! This 1992 Golden home is a beautiful example of a life long project to commit your home to more sustainable methods. You can see their ~7kW rooftop solar, two solar thermal hot water panels and a new 40.5 kW battery system. Plus check out the inventive recycled blue-jean insulation in the garage and utility rooms! This one is worth a stop along with all the nearby Golden homes!

You can RSVP on our Facebook event, but don't forget to grab a ticket (or two!) from our website. Do not delay!
