In June 2018, the Sustainable Wheat Ridge (SWR) Committee published recommendations to enhance the environmental sustainability of Wheat Ridge, provide strong financial returns, and bring substantial benefits to public health, community cohesion, and livability.
Each recommendation or “focus area” provides a general assessment of the timeline, cost, and environmental benefits, along with proposed metrics and City resources necessary to enact the recommendations. The six focus areas of Sustainable Wheat Ridge are Green Building and Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, Solid Waste and Recycling, Transportation, Water and Communications & Engagement.
