Neighborhood Groups
As of fall 2009, individuals from many Boulder neighborhoods have attended monthly ClimateSmart Neighborhood group meetings and are building community by offering events and education focused on reducing our household carbon footprints.
Initiatives have included walking Solar and Green Home tours, picnics, movie events in local parks, film and book clubs, recycling education, car-sharing, bulk insulation purchases, and more.

Join the ClimateSmart Facebook group to receive email reminders and have access to events, postings, and discussions. If Facebook isn't an option (you do need a Facebook account), please visit our Events page. If you don't have Internet access, call 303-441-1846.
