The Grand Canyon Trust has helped support clean energy initiatives on the Colorado Plateau in many ways.
Outreach
We work with national and regional groups to educate the public and to manage and regulate greenhouse gas emissions. In 2005, we organized the Southwest’s first training workshop for global warming activists in collaboration with the Green House Network. We also assisted Clear the Air in publicizing and distributing its report climate disruption in the West.
Clean energy development on tribal lands
Our Native America Program is involved in a variety of efforts to promote the development of renewable energy projects on tribal lands.
Our own backyard
When we expanded our building in 2000, we consulted with the Rocky Mountain Institute. The resulting addition won an award from the Coconino County Sustainable Building program. In addition, with donations from our members, we installed a 1.4 KW photovoltaic system at our headquarters in early 2003; in September 2004, we added another 1.4 kilowatts to the system.
Your donations and membership dues make our work on the Colorado Plateau possible.
